Enable Stacks Mouseover Highlight (OSX 10.6)

Enabling automatic mouseover highlighting of icons in your grid stacks makes browsing for files that much easier, and it’s just a simple command away. It’s been changed from the original command in Leopard, so after opening Terminal, run these commands:

  1. defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilite-stack -boolean yes
  2. killall dock

When the dock restarts, you can check out your fancy new highlight by clicking on your grid stack’s icon!
