Themes installed per user should only be used for the corresponding user. The behavior of gksu is correct. |

locally installed gtk themes not applied to admin apps |
[Theme Manager] No installation option for system wide themes, difference is not communicated in the user interface |

description |
Scenario:
A) User finds spiffy (or totally hideous) theme online and loves it.
B) User installs theme and uses it.
C) User selects any sudo-required admin app and is greeted with the default GTK
theme.
Solutions:
1) Live with it and wait until GTK uses a nice default theme (dapper + 1 if
we're lucky?). Is this even good enough?
2) Stick the user $HOME/.themes directories into whatever path gtk uses to find
themes so the admin apps match the user apps no matter what awful creation the
user might be imposing upon [him|her]self.
3) Be smart enough to know if a theme is not available and fallback to the
default Human theme or something along those lines... basically just do anything
to avoid showing it un-themed.
4) Create a new theme specifically for use with apps that require sudo priv.
Use this theme at all times. Maybe make it an /etc setting somewhere for people
that can't stand it and "must" change it for whatever reason. |
The user interface of the theme manager does not make clear that it can only install themes for the current user. Furthermore it does not provide an option to install themes system wide. This very often leads to bug results like this one:
