On Leopard, one of the most annoying things about the new ‘stacks’ feature (where folders dragged onto the dock get ‘fanned out’ when you click them), is that the icon that represents the stack is always the one that is first depending on how you sort the stack. For example, if you have an ‘Applications’ stack, sorted alphabetically, the stack will always (likely) show the ‘Address Book’ icon as its icon. Hardly intuitive!
However! Go here – http://www.geocities.jp/chy065/ – to download a set of great little icons that will always sit at the front of their reletive stacks, making it look like they’re in a little ‘pot’. It looks like this :-
A lot prettier than before, and not confusing as hell! Just drag and drop the icon into the relevant stack (not directly from the downloaded file, but via the desktop firt – dunno why!), and it changes to have that icon at the front.
lovely!
Just one thing to note – make sure you sort the stack my ‘Date Modified’. The dates on the stack icons have been changed to some time in 2010, meaning that they will always appear on top.
