Inconsistency in apps run with sudo

[nguyendoan15082006]

Hi Linux Mint developers. I’ve noticed an inconsistency in the appearance of applications when they are launched in elevated privileges while using 3rd-themes. While normal apps follow the selected dark mode and system theme, apps run with sudo often fall back to the default (light or Adwaita) theme.
Apps launched with sudo should follow the user’s theme or dark mode preferences, as set in the Themes > Settings section(included a screenshot and a video below for more understandable).

I hope this issue can be addressed soon so users will have a more consistent experience.Thanks for spending time to read my issue report.

That's very much expected. If you install a theme under YOUR Home directory, the theme only works for YOU. When you open a window as ROOT, it belongs to ROOT. So, you must install and enable a theme as ROOT (Not Recommended), if you want the theme to apply to windows launched as root.
I'm not exactly sure, but the way to do this:

1. Place your theme in the directory where Mint's default themes are located (Mint-X/Mint-Y/Mint-L)
2. Apply your theme as ROOT (Idk how to do this)

I'd just say ignore that inconsistency. You should not mess with ROOT anyways...

Just install your theme to /usr/share/themes. That way it can be used by all system users.

It worked,thanks a lot. I had frequently pasted themes in home/user/.themes before so it just didn't work entire the system for me.
