Clarify those Leopard stacks

November 10, 2007 on 12:42 pm | In Design, Graphics, Icon Design

In browsing my RSS feed, I found that Susumu Yoshida’s blog had a link that pointed to several ‘drawer’-like icons containing the stack icons behind them in a Leopard dock. With a bit of guessing (I can’t read Japanese ;)) I found the original website, Optica Optima. Here’s the ‘Leopard Stack Drawers’ in action;

There’s but a few things that I really rush to download and use for usefulness, aesthetics and innovation; this one’s one of them. I wish I could write some Japanese so I could comment ‘Domo Arigato!’ to Susumu Yoshida, whose blog made me aware of this pretty cool idea, and the creator of the icons of course!

Get the Stack drawers here.

  4. Man, that’s perfect! So great I really wish Apple would buy the idea and icons from him and include it in an update. I still hate having to put on an empty folder just to get something to look right that Apple should have done much better themselves.
