I'd like to know, who's the brain trust (dare I say genius?) who decided that folders in the dock should display icons of their contents, rather than

the same icons as the folders they were in. This gives me a much
better representation of the folders/

It seems that a creative user in Japan created a set of slick-looking icons that you can use for solutions like Sarah suggests. I used them on my Leopard system, and they look quite nice.
