Reveal Mac Window File Icons Permanently With This Setting

I'm a big fan of the Mac’s window file icons... you know, those little icons that appear in window title bars next to the filename. They’re not just cosmetic—you can use them just like the Finder icon for the open document. You can drag one to Mail to attach the document to a message, to a Web browser to upload it, or to any other location just as you would drag a document’s icon in the Finder. In macOS 11 Big Sur, Apple hid the icon until you hovered the mouse over just the right spot of the filename (which can be an exercise in patience), but starting with macOS 12 Monterey, they provide an option to show them all the time. To enable it, go to the Apple menu > System Settings > Accessibility > Display > Show window title icons.
