[SOLVED] Need help getting the right icons to appear for folders.

Hey, I know this is a minor problem, but I still want to get some help with it. I  am definitely not new to Linux or Arch based distros, but I am new to using pure Arch. I installed arch with the XFCE desktop environment and then I noticed none of the folders in my home directory have the proper icon that it's supposed to have. The file manager I am using is Thunar.

This is what it currently looks like.

And this is what it's supposed to look like.

Make sure you have the xdg-user-dirs package installed and that you run "xdg-user-dirs-update". May require a full restart of thunar to recognize the change, or log out and back in again.
