Changing icons in thunar/xfce

[thomasboleyn]

Hi there, just wondering if it is possible to change specific icons in Thunar/Xfce as I want to take advantage of the new folder icons in the brilliant updated Melia dark icon theme just released by Sora on gnome-look today (http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Meliae?content=88482). There doesn't seem to be the option to do this like there is in nautilus.

Below is a screenshot showing the folder with the different folder icon png's in, and the 'home' folder in which I want to change the icons of 'documents', 'music', etc to these.

I'm running Xubuntu 8.10, any help would be greatly appreciated. :KS

I'm guessing this isn't possible without switching to gnome/nautilus..:(

Hi,

Check out these pages, there should be info in there for you:

sorry the link is not available so I shall tell you instead, click on the help tab in a thunar window, click on "contents" scroll down to "customizing Thunar" check out the thumbnailers section, it could lead to some useful tips.

Regards, Ellgor.

I still couldn't find anything relating to changing folder icons. I don't know if it is possible in xfce/thunar. I used deskbar to find and open nautilus, which changed my desktop environment from xfce to gnome, and I was able to change the icons that way, but upon switching back to thunar/xfce they look the same as before, just blank blue generic folder icons.:mad:

This seems to be a common issue:

This fixed the generic folder icons in Thunar, running in Fluxbox under Slackware 13.
