Icons on dock are not static

I am using MBP M1, Ventura 13.4.1

When I want to move apps within the dock, they are not being dynamic but rather static and it's quite harring (in an iPhone when you want to push the position of the app they are being moved subtly). Is there a way to fix it and bring the dynamism in the dock back by any chance?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.4

Custom dock icon reverts to old one whenever the app is open. I have changed the app icon for 2 apps (VLC and JustColourPicker) and it shows the new icon in the dock only when the app is not open. However, as soon as I launch that app, the old icon reappears in the dock. When I close the app, the new icon appears again. I have tried replacing the favicon.icns file in the package contents but it still happens (not sure where it's getting the old image from if I've now removed it). I've also restarted the Dock and Finder several times. Nothing seems to work, the custom icons only appear when NOT using that app, when you use it the old icon reappears. Can anyone help? (BTW It always shows the new icon correctly in Finder and Launchpad whether app launched or not - it's only the dock that exhibits this behaviour)

To make its icon appear again in the Dock. Control-click the app’s icon, then choose Options > Keep in Dock.
