    Ok... I know what is going on.
    My Curse of Strahd theme does not really use graphic icons like most other rulesets.
    It is designed to use a short wide button with dynamically created text on top.

    You will want to remove: data_library_com.lua
    or adjust the following line: DesktopManager.setDockIconSizeAndSpacing(100, 24, 0, 6);

    to something like: DesktopManager.setDockIconSizeAndSpacing(100, 90, 0, 6);
    and play with some of the other settings.

    I understand what damned is asking for. I made that icon, saved it to the unpacked extension, compressed the extension, got the results in the original screenshot. I then tried it without the shield in the background but did not save the one with the shield. Second screenshot was made with the workman.png (no shield) I originally linked above - same reduction in size. I dont have the one with the shield as I didnt save it outside the extension which has since been overwritten. Please disregard the first screenshot above, go with the second (in post #8) as that was made with the icon in post #6. i.e. the funky resizing happens with both versions of the icon.

    New Question: So, I'm working on a theme with custom icons in the sidebar. Is there a way I can override icons from other extensions without having to modify those extensions? For example, I want to replace the icons in the DOE extensions with my own. I can open the DOE extension and replace the icon there, but when there is an update I have to do it again. It would be handy if I could override it in my theme. I messed with LoadOrder, but it didnt seem to have an effect. Possible?

    Load order is the way to control the order that extensions load, and so overwrite earlier loaded extension code.

    Thanks, Trenloe! I believe I found my problem - my LoadOrder tag was outside the Properties tag. D'oh!

    I'm not sure how well I like it, but I'm mostly doing it to learn HOW.
    Thanks again to all of you for your help!
