I think it belongs here.
I made some folder icons for retrofukation icons theme and tried to apply them as documents, music etc. folder icons, but did not succeed. Then I thought the theme was written wrong, and tried to apply 100% working (in that u-distro) Humanity theme, but with the same effect.
Then I updated the system, but nothing happened.
Then I googled for a while, but found nothing worth reading - maybe because of bad search query...
Anyway, does anyone know how to make 'places' icons work?
//I run a standalone wm and use lxappearance. When I downloaded and tried gnome-control-center, it did not help as well.
P.S. The icons:

ubuntu (and my arch) uses xdg-user-dirs-gtk to do this. set the directories in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs, then run xdg-user-dirs-gtk-update.
I use full blown gnome though, so i dont know if the proper icons will actually be displayed for you.

Yes, that works just fine, thank you! xdg-user-dirs was not installed, because I did not install the whole gnome. I installed it and updated the directories (xdg-user-dirs-update) and now the icons look just like I want.
But I have a couple of folders (like ~/Distros or ~/Source) for which I would like to set custom icons too.
So I have ~/.icons/retrofukation/scaled/places/folder-source.png and ~/Source directory. Any chance to set an icon for it?
