Filebox wants to be independent from osso, hildon and their themes. At least, it's my impression.
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?
