The live thumbs is only for running programs or open windows, while these stacks are for shortcuts to programs/folders that are not currently running. It does not replace the thumbs feature.

Ahhh...I "see"

Thanx, I hadn't used or seen the OSX dock so I was a little...umm..unaware I guess..LOL!

I don't know about that crooked test label thing tho..I might find myself twisting my head inadvertently while reading them. Ow...my neck..
