Ubuntu One folder should have its own Humanity folder icon

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

Karmic artwork is going to be awesome. It would be great if Ubuntu One folder has its own icon matching the Humanity XDG folder icons. I've attached the one I'm currently using.

Manuel, thanks for your bug report. I'm assigning it to one of the developers to look into.

Hi. While it would be nice to have a custom icon for the Ubuntu One folder, it is not practical for us to do so. There is no easy way to set a custom folder icon from a Nautilus extension. And if there were, it wouldn't extend well outside Nautilus. Also, for Lucid, we hope to provide the ability to sync arbitrary folders to the server, rather than just the "Ubuntu One" folder, so setting a custom icon on the Ubuntu One folder might not really make sense. We may however provide an emblem to those arbitrarily selected folders.

Rodney, thanks for the heads-up!
I'm looking forward to see those features in Lucid! =)
