Isolating Workspaces on the Dash

Greetings all,

I've been using Zorin 15.1 for about 6 or 7 months now but am still fairly new to running a Linux OS. I'm a big fan of Zorin but I still have one thing that I really want. I want to have the workspaces be completely isolated. By this I mean using the [Alt-Tab] button moves through windows only in the current workspace, and the taskbar only displays tabs for windows in the current workspace.

I have achieved my goals of using [Alt-Tab] with
Code:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.app-switcher current-workspace-only true

but have not been able to reach my goal with the taskbar. I tried using
Code:
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.zorin-dash isolate-workspaces true

which did not give any errors but did not work. Am I pursuing this correctly with
Code:
isolate-workspaces
or is it possible to have different taskbars for different workspaces?

Thanks for your help.

I've done a quick look but can't find any results for having different task bars/panels on different workspaces. :(

I was about to explain how to use the Workspace Manager portions of Window Manger, when I realized: Gnome.

Darn, thanks for looking. I'm going to keep my hopes up so if anyone out there knows how to do this... I'll be waiting!
