Sorry to disturb you, but I'm confused on how to install these software without a guide. I'm not very expert user, so I need a textual guide to understand how to install some packages.

SmartFinn commented 6 years ago

Currently is no package for Fedora distro but you can use universal installation method by running the command in your terminal:

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

I did it, but I cannot change the colors. Maybe its incomplete the installation. I don't know exaclty, anyway thanks for the fast support. :)

Here are examples of use https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-folders#papirus-folders The script doesn't have a GUI, so you have to run the commands from a terminal.

Warmuser commented 6 years ago

Ah ok, I expected something with the GUI.

Warmuser commented 6 years ago

Ok, I tried but the Folders are still blue!

[newuser@localhost ~]$ su Password: [root@localhost newuser]# papirus-folders -l --theme Papirus-Adapta List of available colors:

black blue brown

cyan green grey magenta orange red teal violet yellow

[root@localhost newuser]# papirus-folders -C brown --theme Papirus-Adapta papirus-folders: Changing color of folders to 'brown' for 'Papirus-Adapta' ... [root@localhost newuser]#

Maybe is why the supported theme supported is only papirus-adapta?

Personally I use these icon package that include many variants: adapta, arc dark, materia, etc..

SmartFinn commented 6 years ago

No need run the script from root user, espesially if icon theme installed into home directory.

Ok, I tried but the Folders are still blue

Make sure that Papirus icons were NOT installed in two or more places (root and home directory for example).

Maybe is why the supported theme supported is only papirus-adapta?

papirus-folders supports all Papirus variants and forks.

@Warmuser if still no success I recommend you uninstall all Papirus installation and install a new one from upstream:

Uninstall

wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/master/uninstall.sh | sh

Install from GitHub

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

Change folders color to brown

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

Don't forget choose Papirus-Adapta theme in the Settings/Tweak Tool.
