I have an Ubuntu 12.10 installation and wanted to try out Fluxbox as a lightweight window manager. When I open Thunar it displays no icons for folders. I've made sure I have a .gtkrc-2.0 in my home directory.

Do you have any ideas what to try out?

  • @Exeleration-G The duplication of the two questions should logically work in the reverse direction, in other words this question should not logically be the duplicate one. – karel Jul 27 '17 at 06:46

The following line has to be in your .gtkrc-2.0 file:

gtk-icon-theme-name = "Humanity"

You can use any icon-theme-name in /usr/share/icons, just replace Humanity but keep " ".

Make sure there is no # before the icon-theme line and put your .gtkrc file in /home/username.

  • Thank you so much! Previously I tried "gnome" and "Tango" without success (although they do exist in /usr/share/icons), but "Humanity" works. That will do. :-) – Markus Jan 23 '13 at 08:09
