Hi Pat.
Right click on desktop to show menu.
Hover mouse over [Sort By]
I reckon you will find that [Snap to Grid] is ticked.
Try clicking on that to untick it.
Now you should be able to move Icons to where ever you wish.
However it may take some effort to get them in line if they don’t Snap
I like to arrange small groups of related icons along the sides and corners of
the Desktop — I used to be able to put them there and they would stay there.
But suddenly, they started lining themselves in wide ranks and I was not able
to shift them so they would stay put.
Is there a remedy

Hi Mike,
Yes, this was a know problem with Google Drive in Mavericks.
Some OS X Mavericks users have been reporting for months that their desktop
icons will “flash” or “blink” — disappear and then quickly reappear — randomly
every few minutes. This phenomenon also seems to be related
in Mavericks.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for the speedy response :)
In this case, I don't think it is just a size thing - I think the sidebar
icons must be designated as such somehow.
The reason I say this is if I go to my home folder in finder, set it to icon
view and then in the view options take the size all
with SL icons with it!
It's no big deal - just something I fancied playing with. When I get time,
I'll google-on and if I do find out any more, I'll report back!

Hi Pat,

Make all the icons the normal image you want, but the smaller one (for the
side bar) the alternative.
Then it will show as normal in the Finder, but (perhaps) when it's in the
sidebar it will show the alternative. Didn't have time to test it, but was
just a thought.

Hi, Neil,
I'm not sure what you are asking. I have added a number of folders with custom
icons (made with CocoThumbX) to the sidebar with the old tried and true method
of dragging the folder there, also by Command-Option dragging.
Since SL, some, but not all, of these custom icons
be fairly safe to just edit a .icns file bundle !?
