Description: Just a quick hack to replace the Tango folder icon with a green one, to go with Clearlooks-GreenMod[1]. It only replaces the normal folder icon and only for 16x16 and scalable. Feel free to improve on it.
I found the problem. When you symbolically linked 'gnome-fs-directory' to 'svg', you used the full path name of the file.
This means that even on my computer, the symbolic link points to /home/daniel/.icons/Tango-Green/...
next time just use the local file name like this:
ln -s 'main_file' 'link'

Where I can find the icons that you are using in this theme?
This theme doesn't work in Ubuntu. Where do I have to look in order to edit this theme to make it work? (i.e. which folder and which file?).
I am having the same problems as others who have already posted. The folder icons dont show up. Can anyone explain how to fix this? Thanks.
please see the above comments. just redo the symbolic links in the icons directories.
Thanks man! Green is my favourite color, nice to notice is yours too :) Bye!
PS: you didn't do the folder-home (user-home)!
Hey, thanks for the icons. Now I can use these instead of the ones I have installed now (especially the Gnome default set). :-p
Thanks dude. Very prompt delivery of a needed package of green-ness.
By the way, I've tested this icon theme both on CentOS 4 and FC4 and the folder icons don't show up. Any idea why?

Alright, I used the Nautilus to make a link. Was surprised that it worked at all. ;) It was really just a quick hack...
