“Stacks is pretty much Leopard’s only non-eyecandy change to the dock, and it had the potential to be pretty handy, but the fact that the icon representing the stack is whatever the top file in the folder happens to be really ruins it (for me at least). However, if you haven’t yet given up on stacks and thrown them off your dock, there is a solution: overlaying stacks icons.”

[...] Mac OS X Leopard only: Once of the nice things about Stacks—or annoying things, depending on how you look at it—is that the topmost document icon appears on your Dock, instead of an indicator of which folder contains it. To solve this problem, the icon designer at Optica Optima’s offering a set of icons for download that add a drawer-like image to your Stacks. The screenshot above displays the Downloads, Applications, and Documents folders as Stacks sporting the drawer icons. Pretty! To add the icons to your Stacks, just download and unzip the package, and move the appropriate icon to the folder.

Okay, maybe I’m confused, but when I unzip these archives, I find that they only contain folders, not icon files. Am I missing something?

That’s correct, just drop the the folder you want into the stack you want to show the icon for and then follow the directions for changing the date.

Guess I’m still doing something wrong. I downloaded the zip, expanded it, extracted “DRAWERS_icon_#1/DRAWERS_icon1/ Download ” into ~/Downloads, opened Terminal and updated the time stamp on ” Download “, yet it still appears in my Downloads stack as a regular folder, not the spiffy transparent drawer icon. See here:

I’m very perplexed.
