Icon Theme Installation


Hi,

I am running Arch Linux with fluxbox and thunar. I am trying to install an icon theme for thunar (all the items don't currently have an associated them). How would I install the following theme for example, http://gnome-look.org/content/show.p...content=128143, and implement it to be used by thunar? And subsequently, how I would I uninstall if I wanted to try another one. Also, do I still need gnome-icon-themes installed, which I currently do?

Thanks!

Look here, http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes.
Down at the bottom under the heading Icons.

Thanks for the response. I am running fluxbox, so most of these steps don't apply to me (i.e. selecting the icon theme under user settings). I have downloaded Faenza icon theme from gnome-look, ran the ./INSTALL (which installs it to ~/.icons), but am now uncertain how to proceed. Any help on how to have thunar use it would be very helpful.

EDIT: it worked after I created .gtkrc-2.0 and added "gtk-icon-theme-name = "Faenza""
The icon theme looks great, but there is still no icon for the feature, send to -> mail recipient, when I right click on an folder/file in Thunar. This was my original reason for wanting to try out a new icon theme...
