Root themes, etc.
August 17th, 2008
Did you even notice that applications you start as root (for example: synaptic) look pretty crappy? I noticed it often, but I never came to the obvious conclusion: the themes and icons are not available when you’re root since you installed them in your home folder.
Just executing:
sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root
Fixes the problem. It is not a beautiful solution, but it works perfectly!
