    I just got my MBP yesterday and I noticed that my Documents and Downloads stacks do not look like folders, they look like PDF files. How do I get them to look like the normal folders?

    I think what you are looking for are dock icons and themes that make it so There is a folder there and then the other stuff in it. Normally with stacks when you put it on the dock it will take the image of what was the first item in that folder.
