Change all folder colors (Cinnamon/Nemo) #14

Closed trymeouteh closed 4 years ago

trymeouteh commented 4 years ago

Is there a way to change all the folder colors in Cinnamon and Nemo without having to select every single folder and changinf its color?

I am using Linux Mint 19.2 and I would like to use Papirus icon pack but with my folder icons to be Green and not Teal.

We have a script to change the colors of the folders. Just install it from this repo https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-folders

Ha, I just did notice in which repo you asked :) But now I don't understand your question.

trymeouteh commented 4 years ago

When you launch the Themes app in Cinnamon you can change your theme including your icons. By default in Linux Mint it is set to Mint-Y. There are many icons to choose from out of the box such as Mint-Y-Teal, Mint-Y-Blue, Mint-Y-Red and so on. These icons packs will change the color the default folder color.

I installed the Papirus icon pack and it does not come with different color packs, it says I need to use folder colors to change the color. But all that folder colors can do to my understanding is change individual folder colors and not change the default folder color.

The Papirus icon pack default folder color is Teal, I would like it to be green so it will match with the Linux Mint theme.

Is there a way to change all the folder colors in the Papirus icon pack to green?

The papirus-folder script changes the default folder color.

When you launch the Themes app in Cinnamon you can change your theme including your icons.

We can't provide that way because it requires to create 4 base themes × 17 colors = 68 themes.

The Papirus icon pack default folder color is Teal

Actually the default color is Blue. Probably you already used the script.

My bad, your right the default color is blue. How can I change it to green? Is this possible to do with folder-colors?

I understand that by making 68 different themes will be hard to pack and will take up lots of space. Is there a way to have a Papirus-Green theme that I can setup? Or am I stuck with the Papirus-Blue theme?

To change the folder color to Green just run the command:

papirus-folders -u -C green --theme Papirus

Is there a way to have a Papirus-Green theme that I can setup?

The command above is enough. You'll get Papirus icon theme with Green folders by default.

trymeouteh commented 4 years ago 
$ papirus-folders -u -C green --theme Papirus
papirus-folders: command not found

When I enter this command it says "command not found"

SmartFinn commented 4 years ago

You have to install first. Run the following command:

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-folders/master/install.sh | sh

And then run that command to change color.

Thank you. My last question is, does this papirus-folders script/app require foldor-color?
