Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: human-theme
This is more of a usability suggestion that needs discussion than a bug,
maybe.
I'm aware that when you use a GTK+ theme, if it sits on both
/usr/share/themes and ~/.themes, you will have different looks for apps
ran as root and as the normal user. I used to have Shiki-Wise as the
"root version" for all my shiki themes to tell me that the certain app
is ran as root. It's just a hassle for me to implement that every time
so I can't maintain it. This could be the reason why this feature is
impractical to implement but a more solid way to materialize this could
be a good feature for Ubuntu.
Now, I'm thinking of having the Human GTK+ theme to automatically be in
the ~/.themes of every user and there's a different version of the theme
on /usr/share/themes that tells the user that the app is running as
root.
What can you say about this? :)

A different GTK+ theme for root apps can be useful
