I would use arrays for the folders

$DIRECTORIES = ("/home/$USER/.icons/breeze" "/home/$USER/local/share/icons/breeze" .....

also

if [ -d "/home/$USER/.icons/breeze" ]; then

just two simple suggestions

I think you could also execute in one context with

cd apps='apps/16' &&  change_colour &&   cd ..

or you could write it like this

(cd apps='apps/16';change_colour)

so you use a sub-shell execute

just ideas I am not sure if they are shell agnostic I am a bash user :).

but maybe some help.

Let me understand, you mean to replace:

if [ find /home/$USER/.icons/breeze ]; then

for

if [ $DIRECTORIES ]; then

is it right?

if [ -d $DIRECTORY ]

the -d is important it checks if the directory exists.
