Make alias take icon of the .app it points to I have a blah.app, and on desktop there is an alias to this app
I went to blah.app/Contents/Resources and replace the icon with my icon, same name
I went to blah.app/ and created a new folder next to the blah.app/Contents folder, this made the blah.app icon update to show mine however the icon of the alias file on desktop did not change.
