Change icon size in dock

I upgraded to OS X 10.9 from Mountain Lion. The icons on my dock (which I have on the right hand side of my screen) all became smaller with the upgrade. When I move the slider bar in dock settings (in system preferences) from small to large the icons do not change size as they did in Mountain Lion. Is this a bug in Mavericks or do I need to do something besides moving the slider bar from small to large? Thanks.

Show Custom Icon in a Dock Stack, Grid View?

Hi, I have a folder with lots of pdfs placed in my dock as a stack. Is there any way to tell the Dock to show my custom icons, when present, or the default preview snapshot as it does now?
When I click on my folder in the dock, I have it set to show as a grid. When the contents are shown, the finder generated document preview icons are shown. For some documents, I have created custom icons for quick visual identification. When I view the document in a finder folder window, the custom icon shows, as expected, but not when I view the folder contents in a dock stack.
Thanks

I have placed a network drive in the dock to act as a stack so that I quick click of that icon will mount the drive, and then the icon acts as a stack. This network drive has a custom icon. When I have the stack set to "display as stack", I get the stack icon in the dock. When I then change to "Display as folder", the custom icon appears in the dock in place of the stack icon UNTIL I click on the icon to display its contents. When I click again, the icon reverts to the generic network drive icon. I'd like the custom icon to remain in the dock. Any thoughts?

Icon Size Within Dock Folders

I would like to change the icon size within the applications folder, it seems rather large, I liked the size of the previous OS icons. It's no big deal but it looks comical compared to the rest of 10.6 visually.

no, that's fixed.

Files icons size is 512 x 512 with maximum grid space???

After updating from Snow Leopard to Lion all my files in the folders is rearranged and files icons size is 512 x 512 with maximum grid space. I adjusting each folder icon size back to normal but after reopening that folder all files is out of order again. Is anybody experience same issue?
Also I have brand new battery in my 17" MBP and OS Lion eat battery like a cake.

I believe this has been brought up many times, aand no solution has been found.

What's the deal with the 'stacks' icons in the dock?

I'm still getting used to stacks in the dock.
What I can't understand is why I have to look at icons that have nothing to do with the item?
My Applications folder stack shows the Address Book item on top and my Utilities folder stack shows the Activity Monitor icon on top.
I "get" it... this is a stack of items and that's the item on top - alphabetically based.
But it's ugly and not what I want. Since I'm always going to see the same icon, looking at the address book makes little sense. I'd prefer to see the Application folder icon or something more generic in its place.
Any good solutions or options?

I hope that Apple's designers wouldn't snort at this criticism. This is clearly a valid "usability" issue. What possible purpose could it serve to have the icon in the dock be determined by the alphabetical order of the contents of the folder (or any of the other sorting options for that matter). I found myself having to remember the order of my folders in the stacks area in order to figure out which to select. That's just wrong. The sorting is a valid purpose for when you click on the stack and it expands, but not for the icon in the dock. And showing just a sliver of the 2nd document or folder? What possible purpose can that serve? Even with icon size and magnification at max, you can't see enough of the folder content to be of any use. This is very unlike Apple, which spends so much effort getting every element of the GUI just right. I can only hope that this was just something that was done early in the design just to show that it could be done, but they just never got around to fixing it before the software was released. It is really annoying!
I've done the empty folder workaround. It's better, but still pretty pathetic.

When I quit itunes it restarts again with the dot under the itunes logo but the iTunes window doesn't open until I click the icon on the dock. Also in the middle of the size vale in the size column the value starts with a number then a ? then a number.

Strange stacks icons and weird dock behavior

I got leopard for Christmas and on the first day of the install my icons on the right side of the dock- i guess the stacks for applications and downloads icons look weird. It's not a combination of all the icons in the stack like someone else wrote, it is a weird green, white, red rectangular shaped image with weird black and grey squiggles going through the middle. Also-I'm not sure how to describe it but what used to be a clear line I guess to separate the stacks stuff with the other icons on my dock it's next to about this mac icon on my dock has turned into a weird pink rectangle with a really small picture of the weird red, green, and white rectangle on top. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My husband is a windows guy and after me bragging about how much better mac is, I don't want him to know that I'm already having problems with leopard

No, this is not "normal behavior." The problem is that it is not consistent, either, so it is hard to tell what is going on. It may happen after using some full screen programs, but I am not sure. I am not able to reproduce the issue, myself. It just happens from time to time.
The icons are not changing after they are used. The ones in the download folder will usually have their normal appearance, the dmg file or a pdf file with its "preview" icon or whatever. Then, for some reason, I will notice some of the icons have become blocky and pixilated, not resembling anything, usually almost a solid color.
Again, the way to get them to change back is to remove the downloads folder from the doc and return it. Then all the icons return to their normal view.

The Icon of the Downloads Stack @ Dock changes when I put anything inside.

I have a problem, on my new iMac, I'm a happy new user of Mac =)
By my mistake I throw to the trash the Download shortcut of the Dock (the default icon of the famous Stacks).
I went to the Finder to my home folder and took the Download folder and put it again on the Dock, and everything was ok with the icon with the arrow.
The problem is that from now when I put a file or anything inside the Download folder, the icon of de Dock changes to the icon of the file that I've put inside.
This only happens on the icon on the Dock of the Download foder, the icons of the Applications and Documents on the Dock doesn´t change when you put anything inside.
Any solution?
Thank you.

control-click on Downloads in the dock and choose display as-> folder.

Dock Stack Icons Change = Annoying - Fix?

We do a lot of peer-to-peer networking in the office and I have other people's icons in my dock for quick access. I've assigned everyone a descriptive icon:
But (now in Leopard) when I actually connect to these people the icons change:
Not only is this ugly and messy but it makes finding a particular person harder. I'd really like them to retain the original icon. Is there a way I can make that happen? Thanks!

The 'top' icon of a stack varies but you know that it is always the top icon in the window when you look at it in list view. Knowing this, like many people, I've created a folder, named it with several leading spaces, and sorted the window alphabetically. The stack is now always represented by that empty folder.

Dock & stack icon bug on draging files

I dragged a file (an alias) above some folders (they had custom icons) in my dock and suddenly it freaked out. I had to restart the dock to get rid of it.
Here you'll find a screen of it:
http://www.sereema.de/Bilder/Sonstiges/ImageBugDock.jpg
As you can see the both folders to the right bottom and some icons of the stack are involved.

It came again:

And it stayed until I killed the dock. Annoying.

How to retrieve the stacks icon on the dock?I accidentally put it in the trash.

how to retrieve the stacks icon on the dock?i accidentall put it in the trash.

Find the folder it linked to in the Finder and drag that to the right of the Dock's divider line. It'll most likely be either the Downloads or Documents folder in your home folder, which is accessible from the Finder's Go menu.

Picture folder stack icons in the dock become folders after viewing

Hi Everyone
I have been using img2icon to make new icons for the document folders I keep in the stacks. I have changed the stacks settings to folders to show the icon. It looks good but when I view the stack and then put them down again, the icons go and are replaced by the folder icons.
Also wondering if anyone knows how to replace application icons in the dock?
Thank U
Stuart

I had a similar "issue"...a simple restart solved it.
