Toolbar and Launcher app icons

After upgrading my iOS to High Sierra a few of the icons on my toolbar and launcher act as if they can't find the image for the icon. When I look in the applications folder in Finder, all of the apps have their icons. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Below are some pictures to show what I mean. It's affecting the following applications: Notes, Messages, FaceTime, App Store, and Photos.User uploaded fileUser uploaded file

Hi,


Might be corrupted Dock preferences. It can happen after a Mac update or upgrade.


Open the Finder.


From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder then type or copy / paste the following:


~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist


Then click Go then move the com.apple.dock.plist file to the Trash.


Restart your Mac to see if that made a difference.
