[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1804622, member: 175845"] @[B]terryann[/B] Well Terry, that would bother me too, and maybe that's why I stick with using Mavericks where most things still seem to work, especially when custom modding ones Mac. I don't usually use Sierra and I can find why your [I][B]Get Info[/B][/I] doesn't work on any favicon. The only work-around I can think off would be to create a folder with the custom icon you want and drag your favicon into it. Not ideal I know, but… I know you wanted your favicons on your Desktop, but if you wouldn't mind having them in your Safari window, you couldn't have custom icons for those sites using Safari extension: FaviconBar It will allow you to add custom icons into your Safari menubar. Download and info available here: [url]https://github.com/RoryCombe/FaviconBar[/url] PS: maybe another Sierra using member could test and see if they can do a custom icon into a favicon. I can't see why they would be so different unless Apple left something out in there Sierra version. It works fine in Mavericks. [B]EDIT:[/B] I see Tom Nelson has the instructions for similar to what you want to do, but no mention of which OS X Version is involved, but the page is showing 2018: [B]How to Add URLs to Your Mac’s Dock Using Custom Icons[/B] [url]https://blog.macsales.com/41999-how-to-add-urls-to-your-dock-using-custom-icons[/url] I'm really wondering why it doesn't work for you.
