There are quite a few serious issues with the window manager in Bodhi Linux...
When I change the icon of some shortcut, it jumps to another spot on the screen, and only reverts back to its original position when I do a screen refresh.
When I change the size of the icons, the size setting is not retained after restarts.
Another unexpected behaviour is the inability to change the icon of certain shortcuts or files on the desktop ; a text file's icon could not be changed, but an M3U file's icon can...
The rounded corner backgrounds in windows and the taskbar at the bottom are filled-in with black. Ugly.
For some reason the lower right corner becomes obstructed and inaccessible as it is overlapped with a rectangular piece of random graphic after I use the File Transfer function in TeamViewer. Screen refreshing doesn't help here, I have to exit TeamViewer to get rid of this annoyance.
When WPS Office was installed I noticed the Microsoft core fonts were missing, but these can be added manually. When I installed Font Manager (sudo apt-get install font-manager) to do that, the program becomes unusable because its title bar, menu bar and buttons lie well beyond the edges of the screen and thus cannot be controlled or brought into view.
No joy.

I might have some ideas if I understood what you are trying to do.
What do you mean change the icon of some shortcut? There are so many icons and so many ways to change icons in so many places and figuring out how it works can be quirky.
Depending on how you have the checkboxes on application icons affects which icons are used; if set for application icon it uses the one specified in the desktop file for some things. But its really hard to figure out, I've struggled with this too, wanting the application icon in the window border but green icons in the menu for example... still havent got that 100% sorted for all apps.
By default, the most obvious icon shortcuts are on the ibar which starts out on the shelf. To control the size of the icons on there you change the size of the shelf it sits on. If you have ibar floating on desktop, you can resize it directly, and it should stay in position, but if you want to be sure it's going to work right after a reset, restart moksha and make sure. (Start --> About OS --> Restart Moksha).
Gadgets themselves have icon shortcuts. You change those by changing their moksha theme....
Theres also icons in the start menu for shortcuts. The size of those is affected by the moksha theme and scale factor. If you change the elementary scale factor it resizes the menu, but that does not stick after restart moksha! This is a quirk, so dont use that way to permanently resize menu.
Also theres desktop shortcut module, that makes desktop files show their icon and other files show a symbolic icon from pcmanfm or something..... but those size together you cant resize one at a time just like ibar, if you resize one it resizes all.....
I think if you want help with this, best to pick one problem and describe it with screenshots and describe what yer trying to do that isnt working as expected. Too many problems and too vague description for me to try to help better. Maybe start with one question/problem per thread, not plethora.
Also if you join our live chat on discord, may be able to work back and forth quicker to help you get set things the way you want or at least tell you if its possible or not with Moksha.

OK, I will put one problem at a time and post screenshots to illustrate them - starting tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

"The rounded corner backgrounds in windows and the taskbar at the bottom are filled-in with black. Ugly." Which theme is affected? S The Moon theme, but I tried the BlingBling theme as well, and saw it there too. I suppose the area around the rounded corners should be transparent and show the background, but it doesn't - it shows black.
Will post a screenshot tomorrow to clarify further.

It should not be a big deal to fix. I will look tomorrow.

Awesome! If you do figure it out for his theme, I'd appreciate it if you could also fix it for the window borders on Moksha Detour. I like those window borders a lot, but they have that same issue on rounded corner, and it is especially noticeable when background is light....
