Downloads folder in one user account appears different without the blue folder icon

Hi all,

My user account was missing the downloads folder, so first I went to my home folder and dragged it over to the dock. The resulting folder had a different appearance than the usual blue folder with the downwards arrow. It as us you can see looks ugly with stacked appearance of the containing files.

So next I tried this command that I got from mac osx daily website still the same result.

terminal: defaults delete com.apple.dock; killall Dock

Now I am updating to the latest version of mac os x Sonoma I am currently on the previous iteration.
