Unhappy [Help] Strange icon behaviour
Lately, my icons in the dock/finder/quicksilver/application folder appear pixellated - not all, but some. Here's a screenshot to show what I mean (in the quicksilver cube). Sometimes, the icons even disappear completely in the finder (e.g applications folder)!!!

After I relaunch finder, the problem sometimes goes away, other times, it remains for a while. I've tried googling, but can't seem to find any help. Could it be because I have icon view set to 32px? Although, even when altering icon size (to say 128px), they still remain pixellated

Does anyone know what this could possibly be? Thanks in advance

I appear to have fixed it:

Quote:
Try moving /Users/Your short name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist to your desktop, then log out/in; OS X will create a new file.

If the problem is resolved trash the original file...you'll have to reset any associated preferences.

If not, restore the original file to from whence it came by overwriting the new one.
