--- Comment #1 from Andre Miranda <andreldm at xfce.org> ---
It's simply because Thunar 1.8.0+ is gtk3-based, therefore you need to use a
gtk3-compatible theme.
Unfortunately Xfce themes (gtk-xfce-engine) were dropped, so they won't support
gtk3 apps, probably distributions will remove them at some point.
I strongly suggest you to migrate to a well maintained gtk3 theme such as
Adwaita or Greybird.
If you really want to stick to a gtk2 theme, you can workaround this by
enforcing Thunar (or any other gtk3 app) to use a different theme as described
in https://askubuntu.com/a/485662/452351.
