 I have recolored the gnome icon set to blend
 with the Devuan ASCII (Stretch) desktop theming.  But
 there are some glitches that are currently being discussed
 on the Xfce forum.  The index.theme is posted there as
 well as a link to download the DarkPurpy icon set:

 AFAICT the generic folder icon is
 picked up everywhere except in Thunar, even the
 desktop.  In Jessie, Thunar does see the specific
 directory icons for home, documents etc.  But the
 generic folder/directory icon reverts to gnome.  In
 ASCII Thunar only picks up the the colorized Home icon.
 
 Xcfe is Devuan's default desktop and I
 want it to look beautiful.  Does anyone have a clue why
 Thunar is doing this?   It would be terribly
 inefficient to have to have to resort to switching out the
 icons in the complete Gnome icon theme (well over
 10mb).  What am I missing.
 
 Thanks,

==========================

Here are some screenies of the problem on ASCII.  Three different users have confirmed that Thunar does this.   Same thing happens on Jessie.

Hope the visuals are helpful.
