Want to change the way the Stacks icon behaves?
That is, always changing depending on the newest file you drop in the stacked folder… It quickly becomes a mess and most of the times you have to actually hover the folders to see what’s what.
Check out this clever tip from XD.
It’s a simple idea: it uses some nice semi-transparent icons, touching them to change the modified date to somewhere around 2010 (hopefully Apple will release a Stacks fix till then) and placing them in your stack folders, where they will always be on top.
It has its flaws (namely, if you have an Inbox folder like me, it’ll never be empty, unless you make the icon a hidden file) but the icons are pretty and it’s worth a try.
I already use this trick and anxiously wait for more varieties of icons to emerge.
P.S. You can also check a top-5 list of some cool looking docks there. Neat!
