Papirus Folders

papirus-folders is a bash script that allows changing the color of folders in Papirus icon theme and Papirus' forks (which based on version 20171007 and newer).

At the moment papirus-folders doesn't have a GUI, but it is a fully functional command-line application.

Some examples of use:

• Show the current color and available colors for Papirus-Adapta:

  papirus-folders -l --theme Papirus-Adapta
  

• Change color of folders to brown for Papirus-Adapta:

  papirus-folders -C brown --theme Papirus-Adapta
  

• Revert to default color of folders for Papirus-Adapta:

  papirus-folders -D --theme Papirus-Adapta
  

• Restore the last used color from a config file:

  papirus-folders -R
  

  This is extremely useful for restoring color after icon theme upgrade.
