KDE themes/icon sets in xfce?

Probably a really silly question but can you use KDE themes/icon sets with xfce? I really like the crystal project icons and would love to use them in xfce if possible.

Re: KDE themes/icon sets in xfce?

Thanks. I've installed it but I can't seem to find a way to manually select the icon I want for my desktop icons. e.g. when I insert my pendrive - the icon that comes up on the desktop isn't the pendrive (flash key) icon. It uses the USB harddisk icon. No big deal but it would be nice to be able to get it to use the correct one. Also, it uses a folder icon for my mounted Windows partition instead of a harddisk icon (which would make more sense to me). Is there any way to force xfce to use a particular icon for a particular device etc?

Re: KDE themes/icon sets in xfce?

OK, I've since changed to the oxygnome icon set but I have the same problem. For some reason my usb pen drive is being recognised as a usb removable harddisk, not a flash drive. Probably a sidux thing rather than an xfce thing I'm thinking.

But there must be some way surely of manually changing the icon for a desktop shortcut? If I right click on an icon and go to properties, there is no option there to change the icon. Is this not possible with xfce?
