I would be really happy if you could add support for current icon theme. You could get it from /etc/hildon/theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc to know what the current theme are. I don't know how you implemented the supported ones.. but as all files uses the same name and are at the same place it would be easy to do.
EDIT: attached tar.gz
After extracting it there should appear a folder
/opt/filebox/icons/current
full of symlinks
And in Filebox settings there should appear one more theme:
current
Select it, close and open Filebox, and Filebox should use icons from your current Maemo icon theme

It would be a simple thing to implement and would optimize the download size of filebox. Instead of pointing to /opt/filebox/icons/icon.png it could point to /usr/share/icons/*variable*/48x48/icon.png. Where the variable get's the icon theme string from /etc/hildon/theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc.

That's why it uses its own themes. Not to mention that clipboard, cut, copy, paste icons cannot be found in an osso theme.
That's why, supposing that all themes use the same icon names, I offered to use symlinks: it should allow you to effortlessly integrate Filebox into whatever theme you use.
I understand that it would be possible to read /etc/hildon/theme/gtk-2.0/gtkrc. It would even be possible to read text and background color from the same file. But it would be the way of depending on GTK and hildon, while Filebox is Qt-based.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By the way, default filemanager does have bookmarks, but they are hidden. It's also supposed to have folder tree, though I have never seen it.
What about adding option of folder tree in sidepane to Filebox?

However... it would be a breeze for a developer to add it to his icon-theme. I would do it to the AwOken theme.

Using Filebox for some time, I recently tried to use a cool feature: unzip.
However I am just not able to do it. I have a zip file that I double-click, and nothing happens...
I tried to maintain a click to have the menu but I can see nothing else than 'compress' but not 'uncompress'.
The zip file unzip fine on my computer though...
I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall Filebox but not surprisingly it didn't help.
Any ideas welcome

You need to install unzip for this
It's not installed with filebox
Open x-term and type:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install unzip

Works fine for me, are you sure you have the zip, unzip and unrar utilities installed? none of them willwork if you dont first install them from thr repo's.

obviously that can help
I should have checked this but honeslty thought that was part of the dependencies!
So basically "compress" is integrated but not "uncompress"...
Thanks for the quick reply
