Script usage
Papirus-folders doesn't have a GUI, but it is a fully functional command-line application with TAB-completions. Below you'll see some examples of use.
Show the current color and available colors for Papirus-Dark
papirus-folders -l --theme Papirus-Dark
Change color of folders to brown for Papirus-Dark
papirus-folders -C brown --theme Papirus-Dark
Revert to default color of folders for Papirus-Dark
papirus-folders -D --theme Papirus-Dark
