Gorgeous Replacement Icons for Stacks
TechnicalAs I mentioned in a previous post, one of my relatively few Leopard gripes involves the icon implementation in Stacks. I still think it was a spectacularly poor design decision, and I immediately hacked a solution using the default folder icons. Tonight, though, by way of Daring Fireball, I found XD (ecksdee.org) and, ultimately, these far more attractive (and functional) replacements. The best of both worlds. I can see what the stack is and what it contains. The icons are gorgeous within themselves and they look great on my dock. I almost hate to call something that looks this good a hack (even though it is). Apple should've done this in the first place.
I should mention that, for me, the download link on XD didn't work, so I followed the link that was helpfully included and went straight to the source (the source page is in Japanese, but the iconography will get you where you need to go). Although the download link icons suggest otherwise, only set #1 seemed to include the icons I was looking for.
