To use the folder-color package, first you have to create the folders with other colours. Right now, we have only one colour, orange. Or, you can copy some folders from here and use this script to change folder colours. This was there before Yaru.
An example,
It could be either Yaru-brown, or linked to the folder-brown-*, but still you have to create those coloured folders. Then, you have to match the Yaru application theme to the brown colour.
I’m the Folder Color’s developer. Nice to meet you!
I have to say that Folder Color is dynamic, it will read a few files in the icon theme and if they exist, allow to customize the folder. You can read here about the requirements for a new icon theme (HOW TO CREATE A NEW THEME section).
I’m not a designer, then I can’t do anything about this.
Actually you are pretty late. This is dead-I am actually right now focusing on folder color Nemo for Ubuntu Cinnamon which I notified you of
Also the dependencies are wrong and it’s weird to get the right packages for folder-color-Nemo- what are they? The listed ones don’t work, you need other stuff to make it work correctly.
Hi @itzswirlz Oh! It’s you! I didn’t recognized you by the nickname
Did you try the PPA? If you install the package folder-color-nemo and you restart nemo, you should see the menu.
About Folder Color & Nemo there is a problem, I can’t upload the package folder-color-nemo into the Ubuntu repository (read the same problem in Ubuntu Budgie here), I asked to a MOTU but without good luck.
Would be possible that you could upload it?
Re: folder-color-nemo, see what menu??
If it’s supposed to load as a plugin it’s not…
(- I’ve another python-nemo plugin that also is now failing to load., see this,
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nemo/extensions-3.0/libnemo-python.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_ImportError
Wait-so will the commit that fixes be included in release?
Maybe, maybe not.
No one in ‘Ubuntu’ has any interest, it’s just synced from Debian
So when Debian maintainer(s) decide to address it’ll get fixed.
it’ll undoubtedly be available in a ppa but that’s besides the point…
Since Ubuntu Budgie uses nemo we do have an interest!
I’ll have a look soon to see if I can reproduce the issues with python extensions on UB and if so - whether the commit resolves it. If it does, will report this to the good Debian devs and upload a fix for Ubuntu folk.
The issue has been resolved, and overall the main topic of this article is outdated and not needed anymore. I request an admin to lock this post as we are pretty much done here.
