TUAW Tip: Put a Recent items Stack in your Dock

Here's another brilliant tip by way of Mac OSX Hints. It turns out that you can actually put a "Recent Items" Stack in your toolbar with a couple of terminal command.

Once you execute it this stack allows you to choose between displaying Recent Applications, Recent Documents, Recent Servers, Favorite Volumes, and Favorite Items. If you click on the Stack it opens in grid view to show whichever of these you selected. As per usual with a Stack, the Dock icon is dynamic.

Incidentally, these are the same "Recent Items..." that appear in the drop-down Apple menu, which can be adjusted in the Appearances Preference Pane.
