This way you can have a decent theme for root apps that is different from user settings. Be sure to have specified theme and icons in /usr/share/themes and /usr/share/icons. Use lines like this (and use the exact theme names, check index.theme files inside the (icon)theme folders for that): gtk-theme-name="Human" gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango" To manage themes for root create a file /root/.gtkrc-2.0 and inside specify theme and icons.

Run as root only when absolutely necessary, and then make sure it looks as ugly and different as possible so you don't have your self an, "Oh noes I manglez my cpu's" moment.

Or for some reason when GNOME 2.26 came downstream to me on Arch it suddenly started sticking with my themes. Note that this isn't really Ubuntu specific.

But I dont agree that themes for the root user should be ugly. Maybe the title of the window can show a lock sign or a witten word root. There is no point in keeping th eroor themes ugly.. this saves space because You dont have to install theme for each user Thanks for the tip.
