(MAC) Broken desktop icons

[Visual Ronin]

Hello,

Sometimes, when I set up games from Steam on my computer, the game icon on my desktop is broken. It's like the old Steam logo instead of the original game logo.

How can I fix that ?

System : MAC OS X 10.9.5

Some publishers do not create a game logo, so they just get a default image from Steam.

My boyfriend have the icon of "Crypt of the Necrodancer" on his PC. I don't have it on my desktop on my Mac. Here is the list of the missing icons :

- Crypt of the Necrodancer (A logo on PC and not on Mac, it's impossible no ?)
- Guacamelee! Gold Edition (It's a big game and don't have a logo, please...)
- Derrick the Deathfin
- Botanicula
- Race the Sun
- The Basement collection
- To the Moon
- The Plan (Okay, this one is free, it's possible.)
- Mark of the Ninja (A second Steam logo on my desktop ? Oh no, it's you ! Smart !)
- Syder Arcade
- Journey of a Roach (Where is the head of this roach ?)
- Hatoful Boyfriend (Not you my dear !)

Seriously, it's a bit annoying. :/
I would like to have a real solution to find the logos of those games and replace the steam logo by the original one. And if the logo wasn't in the location, well, it's sad. :'(

The User Story:



I have now run into this problem multiple times. When trying to edit steam icons as well as custom app icons on my os. I tried the usual methods. that is the



1. Copy the icon you want to use to the Clipboard.

2. Select the file or folder whose icon you want to replace, then choose File > Get Info.

3. At the top of the Info window, click the picture of the icon, then choose Edit > Paste.



But, as I am sure many of you that have found this forum have found this either does not work at all or only works

some of the time.



Anecdote as the why:

So what gives?

This is conjecture, but I assume that since the new Apple devices require a range of sizes for a given image formatted to Apple's specs. They no longer accept images/icons that do not match said specs. I hoped on the developer docs to see if I could easily find so docs for y'all but I couldn't find anything easily. Sorry, I'm lazy.



So without further a due. This is the simple hacky solution that I have now used multiple times.



The Solution:

1. Sang you favorite icon image

2. navigate to an icon converter site. I have been using. https://iconverticons.com/online/

3. Download the .icns file package.

4. rename the gnarly numeric name to something cool like soundcloud.icns

5. Now do the tried and true.

6. Go to app/file/folder (Whatever)

7. choose File > Get Info.

8. At the top of the Info window, click the picture of the icon, then choose Edit > Paste.

or, drag and drop or keyboard shortcuts ctrl+c the ctrl+v



Closing Thoughts:

I personally would prefer to not have to use some site to convert the icons to the proper format. I am sure there is a way to do it either through some app in the app store. But if someone knows how to convert and package the icons locally like iconverticons.com does please reply or link me so I can learn.



Hope this helps. Since I am normally the one scowering for solutions. Maybe I can give back this time.
