[quote tuqqer]That odd feature has been there since the start of Leopard, laarree. Whatever is at the top of the folder list of that particular folder, gets to be the folder's icon.
I agree: it's the weirdest feature they've ever added. Why anyone would want the icon to change like that is beyond me. I personally liked the ability to add an identifiable custom icon to my Dock's folders.
I just checked--the first file at the top level of my Home folder is indeed a Log file,
which only makes sense if I click on the dock icon and it fans or stacks to display
the contents. It doesn't make sense for quickly identifying Home in your dock.
