[HOWTO] Make Stacks always show original folder on top of a Stack

This is a little easy if you follow the steps for Set Stack Icon.

Steps:

1) Download the Automator Work flow Set Stack Icon (workflow).

2) Unzip the download and place it in the folder /Users/YourUserName/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder/ (make the folders Workflows if doesn't exist then create the folders /Applications/Finder/ inside the Workflows folder).

3) Drag out the Stack you now have but remember where it is in the Finder for the next action.

4) Find the Folder (Like Downloads in /Users/YourUserName/Downloads) and highlight it (just highlight it only). Then right click on it and when the contextual window pops-up select More-AutoMator-Set Stack Icon . This will create a new folder inside the folder that looks like • Set Stack Icon . this folder will have the same look as the parent folder.

5) Drag the parent folder (like the folder Downloads) back to the Dock to make a Stack.

Following these steps and you will and it will look like the Stacks all start with a folder look on top of the Stack now.

Take the folder that set Stack Icon out of the parent folder (that is in the Stack). It's that easy.
