For example, if you are running Mail app and have some unread emails, Mail app’s Taskbar button will show the badge on it containing number of unread emails or the Alarms & Clock app show its status.
But, The option to show or hide badges in the taskbar buttons is greyed out, what should I do?

That’s all
