…let’s face it: Most people suck at driving and can use all they help they can get.

I’ll say it again: why send a man (or woman) to do a machine’s job?

In short: yes.

If you’ve only ever used Photoshop, you may believe that this type of PNG cannot exist. In reality it’s just Photoshop’s PNG support lacking.

Using the following terminal command, you can easily add a stack of recently used items to your Dock:

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{ "tile-data" = { "list-type" = 1; }; "tile-type" = "recents-tile"; }'

You can enter this as many times as you like to create additional items.

You can then right-click on the Stack to customize what it displays.

I created two of these, and configured one to show ‘Recent Documents’ and the other to show ‘Recent Applications’.

Here’s the really neat part: the following command enables you to choose whether Stacks display in Grid (traditional) or List view (new).

defaults write com.apple.dock use-new-list-stack -bool YES

I prefer List for Recent Documents, and Grid for Recent Applications.

Lastly, remember to restart the Dock using the following command for the new features to appear:

killall Dock

Looks good!

Beautiful. This helped me understand UIControlState in UIKit.
