I installed the elementary gtk icon theme today for my openbox stup and i think it's great. Alebit apart from the fact that whenever i change my icon theme my downloads folder just looks like a normal folder, and so does my pictures folder etc. How do I tell the gtk icon theme to use it's icons on those folders? And the icon theme defintely has icons for downloads, pictures etc. It just isn't working.
Thanks

That is up to your file manager. If you are using nautilus, right click on the folder, select properties, and click on the folder icon in the properties window. You can also change the emblem by going to the emblem tag in the properties window.

Try nautilus.
EDIT: You can, however, use emblems. Right click, then properties

is there another file manager other than nautilus that i can do the same thing with? because nautilus messes with my conky and desktop so... i'd rather a file manager that just works...

Although I would recommend against using nautilus and looking for a better/lighter file manager that can still do what you want (thunar with emblems for example, as kpbotbot mentioned), you can stop nautilus from drawing desktop icons with the --no-desktop command line switch, or in gconf as a "show desktop" preference somewhere apparently in "/apps/nautilus/preferences".
