Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Would be cool if there was a way to indicate how many windows are open similar to dash-to-panel.

Describe the solution you'd like
Applications have dots/underlines indicating how many windows of an application are open. Not sure if this would require the logic to be separate from the user's CSS.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Different CSS classes depending on the number of windows. Might only need an indicator for "more than one window".

I think the alternative here is the only feasible way to go. I can maybe add classes for all of one, two, three, four+ windows, and then how these are displayed can be controlled in the CSS.

A recent discovery while working on #480 is the GTK Overlay widget, which actually might make this a lot easier than originally thought and unlock the way to doing it the dash-to-panel way.
