Some Google Shortcut Icons appear as empty folders when I choose to display the medium size icon on desktop

Hello,

Your desktop icons are an awesome way to keep track of your favorite programs. Since you mentioned that you've successfully updated the icons for your Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar and Google Contacts then that means they should be easier to find.

The Gmail and Google Contact desktop icons doesn't show up with the updated picture when they're viewed in medium size. To resolve the issue, kindly answer the following questions:

• Where did you download the icons?
• Can you give us a screenshot of the medium-sized icons on your desktop?
• What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

We'll keep an eye out for your reply.
