Avoid the changing dock icon for the stack
Authored by: grogglefroth on Oct 31, '07 08:41:27AM
The changing folder icon was driving me nuts. This is what I did:
  • Create an alias for Documents
  • Rename it to -Documents
  • Move it into Documents
  • Tell the dock to use a grid; sorted by name.
This *almost* brings me back the behavior of dragging folders to the old dock, enough so that I can live with it. The only oddity at this point is the icon still changes, but the folder icon is in the foreground (the dock shows overlapping icons).

It's funny 'cause i did the same thing for my Download folder (create an alias, put it in the download folder...) but it keep showing me a "plain" folder icon instead of the "download" folder icon...

I also tried to create a "new" folder and pasting the "Download" folder icon on my "new" folder (inside the Download folder) without any luck...

very strange...
