Best to ask on Korora's support Engage
https://kororaproject.org/
support/engage
However I) I think the default icons are there, although the Fedora name
disappears with Fedora branding (a legal requirement). it defaults to Numix
Circle
Maybe I missed that. I looked at all icons. I would love to nuke those
Numix Circle icons.
2) that is a known issue that affect Xfce generally although I can't find
a bug report for it. My Fedora Xfce system has the same problem. there is a
workaround as detailed at
https://kororaproject.org/
support/engage/question/korora-25-xfce-setting-wallpaper-from-desktop-
settings-fails-1
Thank you! I have another Fedora machine with the same problem.
3) unable to reproduce that one, works fine here, were you running on live
system?

Just to update this -
I've done some checking and you are right, the default icon theme isn't
included. I suspect but haven't been able to confirm, it was omitted as it
is called Fedora Icon theme. Remixes are required to remove all Fedora
branding but this may be going a bit too far. You would need to install
fedora-icon-theme to have the theme you wanted.
Sorry for the confusion.
For number 3 I've tested on a number of 24 and 25 systems and haven't been
able to recreate the issue. I don't know what to suggest but if you find
anything please let me know.
Thanks again for the feedback
Jim
