   • scurve-l.png
   • scurve-m.png
   • scurve-sm.png
   • scurve-xl.png
5. Then, replace them with these files.
   • scurve-l.png
   • scurve-m.png
   • scurve-sm.png
   • scurve-xl.png

You may have an issue with one or more of the files not copying properly, if this happens, the original file needs to be deleted from the directory first.

Then open Terminal and type 'killall Dock' to restart the dock.
