Thank you so much for this! Very easy to follow, even for someone like me LOL. 
One quick question: with the shortcuts, how would you do one for a web url? For instance, I'd like to put a shortcut to the Netflix site there, and while I have an icon, I'm not sure how to do the shortcut?
And one more quick one LOL - is it possible to make the background transparent? instead of a solid colour?

Can I take a look at your Icon Dock.ini? My icons or still on stop of each other.

If you're looking for step by step written instructions, there's a really good one in the official Rainmeter manual : docs.rainmeter.net/manual/gett…

I've followed the tutorial so far (really easy to comprehend btw, well done) and I can't get the icon to show, althought the shortcut works, what can I do?

try checking the Log: docs.rainmeter.net/manual/user…
to see if you have any errors  
Also, you can try adding X= and Y= to see if that does anything

Can I have a screenshot of your "Icondock.ini" ? Because I don't understand some steps and I would see an example of a working icondock.ini.

Sorry I didn't get to you sooner. I know this is an older comment, but I replied to your PM. I'll try to help you through there.
