10.5: Prevent Stacks from changing docked folder icons
Authored by: MacTechJohn on Nov 03, '07 05:53:11PM

Has any one tried changing this using "defaults" in the terminal? I have not had a chance to try it yet but ever folder/stack has a value called "showas" which is a boolean set to false. I thought maybe changing this value to true would show the default folder icon.

Neat!

Some observations:

+ once the icon has been copied from Get info open Preview and File > New from clipboard. Save out the file as a PNG retaining alpha channel.

Open that saved file in your favorite image editing application and edit away.

Once happy, save the design and export out as PNG (preserve transparency) at 72 into a 512 px square.

Open the exported file in Prevew > Select all > copy > this will allow your edited version to be pasted back into Get Info.
