How do I change the description in a url icon

Hi, I like being able to drag a url down to the dock to create a permanent shortcut to that webpage, but how do I change the description that appears above the url icon? I want to create shortcuts to some google forms I created, but when I do so the description is always the URL, which isn't helpful. I need to change the desciption so it says "timesheet" or "sign up form" instead of the url. Is that possible?
Screenshot attached to demonstrate. As you can see in the screenshot, when I hover my mouse over the URL icon, the url appears as a description. But the description is not helpful. I want to change that description to a custom description.

Awesome. Thanks. Found a website that showed me how to find the .png for that icon.
Here's the whole process now, in order, for perpetuity's sake.
1) Highlight the URL of the website you want to create a dock bookmark for.
2) Drag the highlighted URL to the desktop, which creates a .webloc file.
3) Open terminal and type in the following (which will open the icon in preview)
open /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/url.png
4) In preview, highlight the icon and select "copy"
5) Select the .webloc file on the desktop and choose "get information", which is command-i
6. Change the name of the file to whatever you want, leaving the .webloc in place.
7) Select the small icon in the upper left corner. When you do, it will highlight.
8) Hit "command-v" to paste the icon previously selected over the old icon.
9) Now drag your newly-icon'd file to the dock, which essentially creates a shortcut.
10) Place the newly-icon'd .webloc file somewhere safe on your computer.
11) Congratulate self and thank Matthew Morgan for his help.

  • How can I change the description of a control Icon with property nodes?

    hi
    I want to change the description of a control Icon and use for this the property nodes, but I don't know how. Who can help me?
    labprog

    If you're referring to the control's name on the screen, you can't change the label while the VI is running because it's part of the control's definition. Instead, make the label invisible and the caption visible and use the property Caption.
    If this doesn't help, elaborate more on what it is you need.

  • How can we change the description and name of Process Chain in Production

    Guys,
    Can anyone please help me to understand how can we change the name and description of the process chains in Production in SAP BI?
    Regards

    open the process chain and go to edit mode and then press Ctrl+F6 for a rename... you can only rename the description and not the technical name.
    If you want to edit PC in production - esp one which has been transported - go to transport connection and change the object changeability for the same to everything changeable ( right click on the same to get this option )

  • How can I change the color of a folder icon and also the color of the text

    I am using Yosemite.  Is there any way to change the color of a folder icon and also the color of the text?

    You can't. You can't individually set the properties of just one array element.

  • How do I change the "gray" color selection for icons in Finder to brown?

    Is there a way to change the selection of colors offered by the dropdown File menu for desktop and folder icons? I use a lot of color coding for the files and folders in my windows, and gray just looks like "dimmed out" to me.
    I know how to get the color wheel in Microsoft Word (or the crayolas, or whatever).  Is there a way to do that for Finder as well, without a lot of technical talk (ranges, percentages, etc.) that I can't understand?  Thanks for any help out there!

    Grey is not the only color showing up.
    If you want more colors other than the ones found in Finder, you will need to use a 3rd party product.  Something like CandyBar will do the trick or download colorful folders and icons.  These softwares can be found on MacUpdate and by doing a Google search.

  • My email service recently changed.  How do I change the address that my email icon attaches to from the old email to the new email?  The icon is the postage stamp on the bottom bar.

    My email provider just changed the path to access my email so my "postage stamp" icon still accesses the old non existent email address.  How do I remap the icon to access the new email path?

    You don't "remap" the icon; it is just an alias to your Mail application.
    Open your Mail application, go to Preferences, and then click on Accounts. Call your ISP and, with Accounts open, ask him for the proper settings for you to enter for (or, go to their website and look up the information yourself):
    Incoming mail server
    user name
    password
    outgoing mail server
    plus all ports (numbers)

  • How do I change the text color of desktop icons in OS X Yosemite?

    I have a lighter background for my finder and keep many icons on it.  Due to the lighter background, I need to adjust the text color of the icon to a darker color.  I can't locate where to adjust from the default (white) to a grey.

    dbrechbiel wrote:
    Thank you for your response.  My icons are difficult to read on a light background.  Are there any third party modifications available?  TinkerTool does not have this capability.
    I do not know of any 3rd party apps to do the mod currently.
    You can change the background pic or modify the original BG by underexposing it for better contrast.

  • How do I change the "Attach File" list from icons in alpha order to a list in chonological order?

    When I want to attach a file to an email message, it's usually the last file I worked on. Firefox used to display the items as a list in chronological order, with the most recent item at the top. Now it displays icons (which I hate!) in alpha order, which is soooooo not useful. I think this change may have occurred after the last update I loaded for Firefox. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to get back to my original format. Thanks!

    OOPS! Looks like this is happening in Word as well, so it's not a Firefox issue. ... but I still can't figure out how to change it. Any suggestions?

  • How can I change the font size and placement of photo descriptions in an  iPhoto slide show?

    With an iPhoto slide show, how do I change the font size for titles and descriptions and position the text when preparing a slide show?

    to change the pixels crop to 100x100 and export with maximum dimension of 100 - see the user tip on exporting foo details on Export options - Exporting From iPhoto
    As to DPI - digital photos have no DPI since DPI is Dots Per Inch and digital photos have no inches hence no DPI - when you print a photo then DPI is a mathematical calculation - dots divided by inches - it is not a setting
    Print a 480 pixel photos as a 1" square and the print it 480 DPI (480 / 1 = 480) and print the 100 pixel image as a 1" square it will be 100 DPI (100 / 1 = 100) - print a 480 pixel photo as a 4.8 inch square and it is 100 dpi (480 / 4.8 = 100) - just a calculation - not a setting
