# showsApplicationBadge

A Boolean showing whether the tile is badged with the application’s icon

## Declaration

```swift
var showsApplicationBadge: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Miniaturized windows include the application badge by default to convey the associated application to the user. In macOS 10.5 and later, application tiles do not support the application badge. A miniaturized window with a custom view does not draw the application badge. The application icon is positioned automatically in the tile by the NSDockTile object.
