The same gradient is also visible by hitting the arrow keys to select an icon (after having opened the stack, no need to call 'defaults' in Terminal).

You could simply recommend the Secrets pref-pane.
It provides a gui and online repository of all these tips.

Already knew about this from Secrets, but I kinda like how the gradient highlight changes its position, Core Animation-style. You can make it freak out when you spin the mouse pointer around fast. :D

I think it is a check box in Tinkertool, too.

Hmm is there a way to to keep specific apps from showing? Otherwise half the window is just the apps that startup with login.

When I execute this, my Dock doesn't restart. Any clues on how to get it back without restarting?
To be fair, I have had this problem a few times in the past 6 months - Dock randomly dying, kills my dock and apple-tab application switching etc.
Thanks!
