OS X: Making the Leopard Stacks Feature Look Nice

I like the stacks feature of Leopard but it frustrates me having the icons dynamically changing on the dock based on what I have in the stack folder. I ran across a post on XD's blog about overlaying stacks with a nice icon. It works very well and is pretty straight forward to implement. You basically just place your icon of choice inside the stack folder, modify its "Date Modified" property, and set the stack to sort on Date Modified. The original article link is here.
