In that case a reboot may be helpful to rebuild the icon cache.ģ) I did find another option, that seems to work for some users: I just tested these exact steps again under Catalina (macOS 10.15.5), and it still works.ġ) You probably did, but I have to ask any way: did you follow all the steps to a tee?Ģ) If the original file is a PNG image, then your Mac appears to be showing generic icons (the “PNG”) text. Hmm, that’s interesting (and a little annoying) … since I cannot reproduce this, I’ll have to do a few guessed … As you can see the name of the shortcut (due to it’s length) is not helping much either.

You can also add a few blank spaces between your permanent Dock icons and your temporary dock icons to keep things from clumping too much. If you regularly have more than a few apps open on your Mac, or if you keep a lot of icons in your Dock, it’s easy for icons to get lost in a colorful blur, making it hard to move from one application to the next fluidly. If you feel like you need a reorganization, you can add blank spaces to separate apps into groups. But if you can’t switch tasks quickly, good luck getting anything done. Multi-tasking might be bad for you, but that doesn’t mean we don’t all do it.
