No icons in thunar [SOLVED]

Thunar without icons looks really bad, so I downloaded these and extracted them into the ~/.icons folder.
[flyer@athlon ~]$ vim ~/.gtkrc-2.0
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/home/flyer/.themes/LiNsta-GTK2/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
include "/home/flyer/.gtkrc.mine"
# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
[flyer@athlon ~]$ vim ~/.gtkrc.mine
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango-Original"
[flyer@athlon ~]$ thunar
(thunar:10305): thunar-vfs-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the HAL daemon: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
(thunar:10305): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not find the icon 'gnome-fs-home'. The 'hicolor' theme
was not found either, perhaps you need to install it.
You can get a copy from:
http://icon-theme.freedesktop.org/releases
(thunar:10305): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'gnome-fs-home' for stock: Icon 'gnome-fs-home' not present in theme
[flyer@athlon ~]$ vim ~/.gtkrc-2.0
(thunar:10305): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'gnome-fs-home' for stock: Icon 'gnome-fs-home' not present in theme
What's with the HAL?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
There was something wrong with the theme, so I downloaded another one.

[SOLVED] change icons in thunar (XFCE)

Hello all,
Me again. Is there a way to change the icon colors in Thunar? I copied the gnome-wine, gnome-wise, etc. from my Xubuntu test box and copied them to /usr/share/icons. I can see they show up under System Settings, Appearance/Icons. I can even select them, but only the icons on the desktop change colors (call me crazy, but I like the green folder icons). However, the icons in thunar are still the grayish brown standard icons.
Is there a way to have the thunar icons use the XFCE system icons?

in xfce4 (4.8.0.3, the version I am using in ubuntu):
You can do this to chang the icons in thunar and through the xfce desktop
1) Click the main menu (Xfce menu at the bottom-left of the screen)
2) Click Settings -> Appearance
On Appearance dialog:
1) Click Icons tab (or press alt+i)
2) if you have icon themes installed you can selec them (such as Tango)
-- this will change iconds for the entire desktop:
Thunar, Xfce menu, etc
EDIT: I now realize that this was about changing icon colors and the above was already noted in the first post
.. any way it helped me change my icon theme to Tango...thanks

[SOLVED]Icon theme set properly in .gtkrc-2.0.mine,no icons in Thunar

Hi again. I seem to not be able to utilize the search function properly. I've arrived at these three threads:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=48490
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=98261
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103138
None of them seem to help me. As you can see, I--like others-- am having a problem with icons in thunar. However, it's not because I don't know how the .gtkrc-2.0 file works or something silly like that. I just did this in Slackware with Awesome wm and it worked fine. I've created a .gtkrc-2.0 in my home directory, I have the include line pointing to .gtkrc-2.0.mine and I have this line:
gtk-icon-theme-name = "icontheme"
Considering that didn't work I installed lxappearance and set the theme from there. Turns out, it actually does work it seems. I can see in firefox that the icon theme is working. Also, some files in Thunar have their proper icons. In the filesystem, my root folder has it's appropriate icon as well. However, every other folder in thunar is just blank. No icon. I'm using Awesome wm. I hope you will see this isn't the same problem everyone else has had with Thunar and gtk icon themes. Hopefully the community does not frown on this post. I've searched, but if there is indeed a thread somewhere that I missed, would someone mind kindly directing me to it? Thank you, and thanks for reading.

How To Change .iso Icons In Thunar?

The Thunar icon for an iso looks like a blank sheet of paper as default on my xfce4 de. I'd like a cd/dvd icon instead.
Been using assogiate from the AUR for a few years, but noticed today, .iso file icons are back to the blank sheet of paper. Tried rebuilding and reinstalling assogiate on my current updated system, didn't fix it.
I've made an exhaustive "manual edit and/or create a file" effort in the past without success. During that process is when I learned of assogiate, and was able to use it.
I'd like a manual solution for this now that would likely be a more robust fix, and not rely on a software package (assogiate) to edit a database if possible.
Looking for a fix today, I found this tutorial: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions … fce-thunar, but honestly, I get lost.
I get this step ok.
$ file --mime-type archlinux-2013.04.01-dual.iso
archlinux-2013.04.01-dual.iso: application/octet-stream
Then this seems ok.
$ fgrep -Hn '<mime-type type="application/octet-stream">' *
freedesktop.org.xml:518: <mime-type type="application/octet-stream">
Now is where I get lost. This is what I find in the file.
<mime-type type="application/octet-stream">
<comment>unknown</comment>
<glob pattern="*.bin"/>
</mime-type>
I need to create a new xml file placed in the ~/.local/shared/mime/packages subfolder.
1) what to call it?
2) what to put in it regarding the <comment>unknown</comment> above?

Tracked down a problem for assogiate to use an .svg icon. Switching to a .png icon restored function as expected, but using png's looked bad scaled up.
I reinstalled the current versions of librsvg python2-rsvg packages. This solved the problem with assogiate and another app...

Xfce4-svn: desktop icons not removed [solved]

How to reproduce:
1. create file on desktop (e.g., drag it from Thunar window, or save file directly on desktop)
2. Delete this file via context menu
3. The icon of this file stay on the desktop anyway. If you open ~/Desktop, you'll see that file really deleted, but the icon present.
Any ideas?

Thanks to pushing me in proper direction. Really, fam not running
I start fam and restart xfce. Now icons disappear after deleting. Thnx

[pcmanfm] How to deactivate no-icon-theme-message [solved]

Hello guys,
I don't need any icon theme because I use a shell in most of the cases. But as I have to use pcmanfm it always appears that annoying message. Can it be deactivated in any way?
Thank you in advance

@ Sharpsy,
that worked thank you. Haven't thought about that idea, because I wasn't sure whether it works when Tango isn't installed.
Thank you.

Fusion-icon, improper start Solved

Hello all,
I've had this problem for a while, but it's not that big, just a little annoying.
Whenever I start fusion-icon (either as a startup entry, or after start-up) it loads incorrectly as my metacity window borders disappear and there are no compiz-effects.
I have to hit "Reload Window Manager" on the fusion-icon properties everytime I start it up.
Any idea's as to why this is (it used to start up fine a couple weeks ago), perhaps some setting I messed up?
Last edited by proxima_centauri (2009-01-30 20:06:11)

Hmmm, I coulda swore that wasn't it, because I only learned about metacity compositing (and enabled it) after fusion-icon started acting up
However, it seems to work at least switching from metacity to compiz from the icon with metacity compositing off.
I'm gonna reboot and start fusion-icon at start up just to make sure.
Cheers

Change icons in pcmanfm [Solved]

Hello everyone,
I installed pcmanfm but I'm trying to get rid of the gnome default icons. If I go into preferences, it only sees "gnome" for icons. If I change it in my gtkrc-2.0 (gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango") it has no effect after restarting. Does anyone know what I have to do to change icons in it?

The beta works.
pkgname=pcmanfm
pkgver=0.3.0
pkgrel=beta
pkgdesc="An extremely fast and lightweight file manager which features tabbed browsing and user-friendly interface"

Gnome desktop icon description wrapping [Solved]

How is it possible to make the icon descriptions in gnome desktop not wrap so early? For instance, the name "Evolution" is wrapped just before "n":
Evolutio
n
And "Thunderbird" is wrapped as follows:
Thunde
rbird
Solution
It was a matter of opening "Places" --> desktop --> menu Edit --> Preferences and choosing a larger zoom for the Icon View Defaults (I had it set in 50% but obviously 75% is better, now only the "d" of "Thunderbird" is wrapped, but 100% is too big for my screen).

hmm, i'm not sure what could have happened
maybe you can get them back if you re-install gnome-menus, archlinux-menus ,, i don't think kde comes with any as a pkg.
you might also be missing /usr/share/applications, most of the entries also come from desktop files in that directory

GTK2 icon switching? [solved]

Hello. I've used xfce for a long while now, off and on, and I'm moving back to blackbox. Sweet. The thing is that I want to switch my GTK2 icons to the ones found here:
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show. … tent=26757
Very nice. I've become reliant on xfce's config utils to get this stuff done. I've used switch2 to get the GTK2 theme to work in general, but in my apps (like rox), it still shows the default icons across the top (the actual folders/file types are displayed correctly).
Any help?

That will work, but I'm interested in getting the whole icon set working, not just those widgets in rox. I'm using gperfection2 (which doesn't have an iconrc file, works perfectly under xfce4 or gnome), and I want to figure out what the option for just switching the iconset for gtk2 is.
The solution on rox' site would work, but I would have to recreate the whole thing entry by entry. Lame.
I've scoured the net, but I haven't found an answer. What entry can I put in my gtkrc file that fixes this?

My gmail mails are not being showed by apple mail icon. Please solve this problem as soon as possible.
