Gksu Root Theme

May 14th, 2008 Filed Under General, Ubuntu

1. Open nautilus as root

gksudo nautilus

Navigate to /home/username/.themes and copy all of them to /usr/share/themes

(.themes is a hidden folder, press “ctrl+h” to view them)

2. Change the gdm behaviour

In a terminal copy/paste this

sudo gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf

Look for [gui] and make sure these lines look like this:

GtkTheme=all
GtkThemesToAllow=all

If there is a # before them, delete it.

Now synaptic and other root applications should use the gtk theme you are using on your desktop.
