No icons in pcmanfm

Im using openbox, and pcfileman. I used to get some error about GTK icons, and then I downloaded the Kamel Icon set http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show. … tent=59006. I placed the Kamel folder (with scalable and index.theme inside), in my /usr/share/icons. Then in .gtkrc.mine I put

gtk-icon-theme-name = "Kamel"

.  I also have the same line in .gtkrc-2.0. After doing this, no longer have an error about the icons, but I also do not have any icons for any files or folders in pcmanfm.

I installed my gtk theme using gtk-chtheme.

Here is the all code for what is in my .gtkrc.mine file:

gtk-icon-theme-name = "Kamel"

and...my .gtkrc-2.0 file:

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/home/rohit/.themes/aud-Default/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
include "/home/rohit/.gtkrc.mine"

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
gtk-icon-theme-name = "Kamel"

How can I get my icons working?

Re: No icons in pcmanfm

I have found that when I make a change like that I need to close all instances of PCmanFM for it to take effect.  If I start a new instance while one is already open then it will still have the old icons.

Also, since you don't see any icons I'm guessing that you don't have the default gnome-icons installed.  pcmanfm will default to these if no icons are set.

how do I install the default gnome-icons then?

EDIT: nvm... I searched and did pacman -S gnome-icon-theme... got some icons now! not sure if they are the ones I dled tho
