Awesome ‘Hack’ for Leopard Stacks

So I was wandering around Digg and found this on the front page.

It’s a way to beautify the stacks in the Leopard dock, although it’s a great idea the icons do seem to be poorly designed, this does seem like a much better way to have the stacks appear. I however cannot figure out how to get the icons like they are in the lower picture, the only image that downloads with the zip file is a drawer with only a line across it. Although I guess it’s better than nothing so I’m still going to implement it but I’d love to know if I can download a package with the icons above like they are because I’m simply not that good in photoshop.

Instructions and file download can be found at http://t.ecksdee.org/post/19001860 and the original Japanese post here.

EDIT: Thanks to Chris’ comment below I realized what I thought was a single image is actually just a pretty folder and all the nice icons are inside that folder. I have started to use this ‘hack’ and it’s really nice looking with the exception that you’re forced to keep an extra file in all the folders but I can get over that.

    FYI, the single drawer icon you see inside the .zip file is actually a folder that contains the icons with the pictures. Double-click that icon with the line and you’ll see all the other awesome icons.

    I had the same issue and accidentally figured this out on my own.

    Hope this helps.
