How can I make a show desktop icon?

Hi!!
How can I make a show desktop icon like you have for the pc?

You can't, you use Exposé.

Exposé is much quicker and easier. One press of a button clears your desktop and then brings it back again.

The simple answer: You don't need one. Invoking Expose's Show Desktop feature is sufficient for most people - you can set it to a key, a hot corner, or both.

The complex answer: If you REALLY want an icon for this I suppose you could write a little shell script that opens the Expose application with some argument to make it show the desktop, then give it a suitable icon, make it executable, and drop it in the Dock.
