Desktop forgets theme?

I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 on Virtualbox and I cant' change the nautilus icons. I've followed a lot of tutorials... but nothing works. I can only see the icons I've choosen when I run gksudo nautilus but not when I'm a normal user any suggestions?

This is what it looks like when I'm a normal use:

This is how it should look like:

Like htorque says it's duplicated. I've fix the icons problem with this answer: Desktop forgets theme?

Create a text file. Write in it

include "/usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
gtk-icon-theme-name = "ubuntu-mono-dark"

and save it in your home folder under the name .gtkrc-2.0 then restart.

If there are still elements wrong (for me it was the font), you need to add this change to the file, google for a gtk tutorial for the possible fine tunings.

The icons are directly relevant to the theme that you have selected. Run gnome-appearance-properties and choose the them you like.

If that doesn't help, run users-admin select your user, then press on "Advanced Setting". Now move to "User Privileges" tab and make sure that the field Administer my system is clicked, after this select them again as described above.

  • Done it, but it doesn't work. Maybe the bug is related to this bug that I've already fix: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/fix-ubuntu-linux-mint-theme-changing-to.html – Igor Jul 17 '11 at 11:48
