Can you describe the problem in more detail? Are you talking about a single document or folder's (possessive) icon? Or the icon of the Documents folder itself? Your screenshots seem to be folders on an external volume or something. I just don't know what you're talking about.

What official procedure are you talking about? There are two of them. There's a new method in Tahoe that less customizable, but the old method still works.

Seems to work fine when I try it here. Hard to say what you're doing wrong since I don't know what you're doing.


PS: You said "since my Mac updated". Please clarify precisely what version of macOS you're using.
