I recently found a nice little terminal bash to really add some zing to the stacks grid interface, if you use stacks regularly, like I do. This is what it does. It may be old, but for new to mac members it's nice.

Once you open terminal (Applications>Utilities>Terminal or Spotlight search Terminal) Enter the text below;

defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilte-stack -boolean YES

killall Dock

Then it will reset your dock, go to stacks and have a look :D

thought I might share if you don't already have it.
 
So, this is what OnyX can enable right? Or something different?

I have OnyX doing it, but was considering removing it but still love this feature.
 
Wow thanks Matt!!

By the way, what program do you use for the album art display? I can't seem to find anything free apart from Gimmesometunes and Artwork.
