Hi everyone,
I'm creating this thread because I need some help regarding the recent MacRumors post about "How to Add a Recent or Favorite Items Stack to your Mac's Dock" (Link: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...avorite-items-stack-to-your-macs-dock.2113038).
I'm interested in the Favorite Items stack so I did exactly what was said in the article, unfortunately the stack icons looks like a mess in my dock, take a look (credits goes to tarsins for the screenshot):
However, someone in the comments managed to have the exact look I wanted to have, again take a look (credits goes to kirky29 for the screenshot):
I made some research on the internet and found out that when you put something in the Favorite Items, the Finder use custom kind-of black and white icons instead of preserving the original icon which is why it look wrong when adding a stack to the dock.
I found an interesting post regarding this "issue" (Link: https://apple.stackexchange.com/que...ange-finders-sidebar-icons-in-os-x-el-capitan) which recommend installing a plugin to preserve the original icon when putting items in the Favorites. There are two download links in there, a modified version which I can't get because the link is dead and the original software (mySIMBL is the name) which is what I tried and didn't quite solved my issue because now the Favorite Items preserve their icon in the Finder but the Dock stack still use the custom (ugly) black and white icons.
I asked the guy who managed to have the clean look on the MacRumors article but he seems to be missing (or just ignore my question) so I really hope somebody will be able to help me on that one.
Also, sorry for the kind-of "stupid" question, I know it's only a visual difference but it really bugs me out.
Cheers!
