Semi-transparent Dock icon for hidden apps!
It is possible to enable a hidden feature in OS X that makes the Dock icon of hidden applications semi-transparent. You can use the following Terminal command:
defaults write com.apple.Dock showhidden -bool YES
You then just have to use the Terminal command "killall Dock" to restart the Dock. An easier way of doing the same thing is with OnyX. Once OnyX is installed, the feature is under "Parameters" and "Dock". It is "Use Transparent icons for hidden applications". You can download OnyX here from MacUpdate.
