Just an idea
Authored by: feste on Apr 22, '03 05:52:09PM

That's exactly what I do. I've got an "Apps" folder and a "Utils"
folder in my dock that contain sub-folders (Internet, General,
Games for the Apps folder) which in turn contain aliases to
every program I use. I launch everything from there. I think
it's the best way to use the dock, especially since I have NO
non-running applications in the dock. I find it much more useful
to use the left side of the dock as an indication of currently
running apps.

That solves the specific problem in this thread, since those
folders can take a custom icon easily enough. But I also have
the real Applications and Utilities folders in my Finder toolbar.
And that icon, the one in the toolbar, brings the problem back,
since you can't customize it. (Although, the making an alias
trick would work.)
