My Dock icons looks garbled after upgrading to OS X Maverick.Not all but most of them look like scattered dots instead of the icons, tried restarting multiple times still no use.
I installed OS X Maverick last week and for a week it looked fine. I have restarted the OS for copule of times after upgrade. Now the Icons in the dock seem to be garbled.
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Hi Carolyn,
Thanks, That solved the issue.
But still this was qurious to know why this issue happened after I upgraded.
Thanks for the fast reply though.

OS X preferences can be corrupted for no apparent reason and often happens after upgrading from one OS X to the next.
You're welcome 🙂
Click Go then move the com.apple.finder.plist file to the Trash
Note that this is the incorrect file. The file that should be moved to trash is: com.apple.dock.plist
I moved the finder.plist file and did not correct the same issue. Trashing com.apple.dock.plist fixed the problem
I also had this problem. Carolyn - you are totally awesome! Thank you soooooo much!
Good call on the correct naming of the file. Worked for me. Thank you!
This helped me as well, thank you!
