Suddenly after some interaction with Norton and a reboot, I cannot relocate the icons on my MAC Catalina desktop; all my desktop icons are now aligned toward the right side of my screen.Or if you did experience a few hiccups, you were able to resolve the issues and now Catalina is installed and working well for you.This Rocket Yard guide includes a workaround for that specific problem.
For me, this includes displaying drives and connected devices on the desktop, opening new folders in windows and not tabs, selecting which items are visible in the Finders sidebar, and preventing a warning every time I empty the trash. Tags in the sidebar let you see any folder or file that you have marked with the same tag. Its a good way of keeping track of projects that may have files scattered around in different places on your Mac. I like to have most of the items available in my sidebar, but that does lead to a crowded sidebar. I usually turn off the Show warning before emptying the Trash. I empty the trash often, and I dont need to be told over and over what will happen when I empty the trash.

By the way, Other World Computing has a collection of drive icons you can download and use on your Mac. It isnt any more difficult, but it does require that the icon you wish to use is in the form of an.icns file. This is a special graphics format for icons used on the Mac. Give the icon a name, and select where you wish to save it to. Set the Format dropdown menu to ICNS and check the box labeled Alpha. Use the preference panes sidebar to select a category or location to view stored desktop pictures. Navigate to the folder that contains the image you wish to use, and then click the Choose button. Ive been known to get a bit carried away in the past, such as changing all the alert sounds or adding screen savers. It surprised me actually, because I just pasted in.pngs. Worked every time. I havent tried external disks. Ive also used the LiteIcon tool, including a csrutil workaround. While various techniques for changing desktop icons (for mounted drives) seem to work for some folks I have not been able to get any of them to work. The cool SoftRAID5 icon appearad on the desktop. Fine. For a few minutes. Then the OS just spontaneously changed the icon to the boring, generic Macintosh HD icon. Poof. The cools SoftRAID5 icon is gone.
