It's not correct that it doesn't apply user settings to it: if I select built-in themes like "adwaita-dark", it does apply it to sudo-requesting apps like synaptic. Synaptic is by the way run as a user but with sudo permissions through "synaptic-pkexec". If you don't use a debian-based distro, another alternative is to try "gparted" which also requests sudo permissions. Also, I seem to recall you deliberately disabled running graphical apps like "systemsettings5" as sudo so those settings cannot be changed for the root user either. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
