Openbox Not Displaying Icon Theme

I have been trying to get icon themes to work on my openbox desktop for a few days now. Openbox is not displaying the icon set when I use Moka, Faenza, or Tango. I have used lxappearance to set the icon theme and double-checked the .gtk-2.0rc and .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to make sure they are using the same icon set, which they are. I'm not sure what other information would be useful, but I will send more information if needed.

Re: Openbox Not Displaying Icon Theme

Which program are you using that displays the icons?  As far as I know, openbox does not show any icons except in the window list.

I don't have desktop icons, the icons that are not changing are the ones on the titlebar on the open programs.

Here is a screenshot. The icons in question are in the upper left of my terminal:

Re: Openbox Not Displaying Icon Theme

openbox doesn't use icons you've set for gtk/qt etc., but X11's NET_WM_ICON specification if I'm not mistaken.

there's application named xseticon that allows you to set the icon per window id or name.

Ok I see now what you mean.  I think those icons are set by the program itself, at least if it is a gtk program.
