How can I get one icon per windows instead of one icon per windows of the same type when I press Alt-Tab ?

This can be done in CompizConfig Settings Manager using "Application Switcher".

Install CCSM:

Hit Alt+Ctrl+T to open terminal and run following command:
```
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
```
Or search for compizconfig-settings-manage in Software Center and install from there.

How to have a Windows like Task Switcher?

Once installed, Hit Super key (Windows key) to open Unity dash and search for "ccsm" and open it.

In CCSM navigate to Windows Management > Application Switcher.

Enable "Application Switcher", You'll see a warning window click on "Resolve Conflicts" and disable all "Unity Plugin" bindings. Change the key binding for "Next Window" to Alt+Tab.

Click on "General" tab. and enable "Only Show Icons".

Close CCSM. That's it!

Now in "Application Switcher" you'll see a septate icon for each window of an application.
