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.
papirus-folders -l --theme Papirus-Dark
papirus-folders -C brown --theme Papirus-Dark
papirus-folders -D --theme Papirus-Dark
papirus-folders -Ru
The last command is extremely useful for restoring color after icon theme upgrade (official installers of papirus-icon-theme and some third-party packages do this automatically).
