Change default theme for root applications in Ubuntu

Scribbled on Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

How many times you have to do a sudo and then see those coarse edged root programs for administration tasks. Installing from Synaptic or editing a system file using Gedit with lifeless insipid looking windows add no value to your already dull life. But fear not, Linux has the omnipotent CLI with the help of which you can turn the root program’s theme to the current user’s theme. It just takes three commands, which itself forms a nice rhythmic verses.

Look how bad it looks :(

Here is the command to use:

sudo ln -s ~/.themes /root/.themes && sudo ln -s ~/.icons /root/.icons && sudo ln -s ~/.fonts /root/.fonts

See the result by yourself :D

After using the command !
