Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2014-11-27 22:00:40 UTC
Almost every unknown file is treated as application/octet-stream which gets the greenish application icon which implies this file can be executed, whereas it's just an unknown file you cannot do anything with.
It should get a different, less prominent icon, such as a gray one. The same is true for libraries and almost anything that is application/* isn't actually executable but the icon implies that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to /usr/lib
2. Observe
3.

Actual Results:  
It's all green and stuff

Expected Results:  
It should be toned down gray since you cannot actually do anything with these files
