In portage 0.9.0 and 0.9.1 is set to build with gtk3 by default for some reason (no idea why, gtk3 version is buggy). So you need to set the icon theme for gtk3.
If you are using the 0.8.7 that still uses gtk2 then, the method you use works for me.
I suggest:
1. Check which version of spacefm you are using.
2. Set the gtk3 'stuff' if you use 0.9.x from portage.
3. Check that "Tango" is the exact name to be used from /usr/share/icons
For example my ~/.gtkrc-2.0 contains:
gtk-icon-theme-name="Faenza-Dark"
and (for gtk3) my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini contains:
gtk-icon-theme-name=Faenza-Dark
Exactly the same, just missing the "".
well, yes, i have recently updated to spacefm-0.9.0, and the tag appearance is really ugly, so that's why i wan't to change the theme. I will try gtk-3.0.
