How to Add URLs to Your Mac’s Dock Using Custom Icons 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: I can't see why they would be so different unless Apple left something out in there Sierra version. PS: maybe another Sierra using member could test and see if they can do a custom icon into a favicon. It will allow you to add custom icons into your Safari menubar. 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

Now suddenly I cannot do it.but yes, the links work if you double-click on them. I have been creating these web links for years and creating icons for them and using Get Info to paste the new icon to it. I would say there are at least 20 different links on my desktop that I have created in the past to quickly take me to web addresses. I found out Get Info was not working because I was trying to change the icons and could not open any of them.

Yes, the links work perfectly and take me to the correct website.Įvery single item on my desktop can be opened by Get Info, except all these web links, and None of the web links work.Ĭreating new ones does not help.when I do that, the same thing happens.the whole screen just "blinks" and Get Info does not open.Ĭommand-I does not work, it results in the same blink and then nothing. The "shortcuts" are web links that I put on my desktop by dragging the favicon to my desktop.
