10.5: Prevent Stacks from changing docked folder icons
Authored by: ehamburg on Fri, Nov 2 2007 at 3:48PM PDT

This is a great hint and I've used it (by putting a folder named "_whatever_icon" with the changed icon into the appropriate folder) for my hard disk, application, home and documents folder. I've tried the same thing for my iDisk but even though the folder with iDisk icon is properly visible in the Finder, the iDisk icon doesn't show up on my Dock. Any ideas or work arounds?

iDisk icon

Well, I logged off/on and the iDisk icon showed up as a "?" but when I clicked on it it now appears as the iDisk icon should. Go figure.
