This way, all my applications looks the same but I can immediately see which application is in root mode (and be carefull of what I do with them !)


I use KDE but I think this idea can apply to Gnome too.

(don't look at the dark windows colors if you don't like it, it's the white and salmon color which are important)

why not but this may require more work whereas changing the color theme is really simple and efficient.]]> Sat, 10 May 2008 11:39:25 +0000 Mon, 12 May 2008 23:02:46 +0000 Mon, 12 May 2008 23:07:53 +0000 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 06:57:19 +0000
* Using Shiki Colors:
1) Theme: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Shiki-Colors?content=86717
2) Icons: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/GNOME-colors?content=82562

Located in /home/user/.themes & /home/user/.icons

Result:

1) Normal user: Shiki-Human (orange theme) + gnome-human (orange icons)
2) Root user: Shiki-Wine (red theme) + gnome-wine

Type in /root as root:

root@ubuntu:~# ln -s /home/user/.themes/Shiki-Wine Shiki-Human

root@ubuntu:~# ln -s /home/user/.icons/gnome-wine gnome-human

The idea is to link in /root/.themes|.icons the desired theme but with the name of the current theme used by default user.]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 02:07:55 +0000
the "ln" commands are _wrong_. for theme, execute command in /root/.themes, and for icons execute command in /root/.icons folder, sorry]]> Mon, 06 Oct 2008 02:14:37 +0000
