I have to disagree, when a user runs an application as root, they should know it instantly. They are no longer user, they are root. While I agree with that as well, I think the only distinction between a root app and a non-root app is a poorly implemented Oxygen theme.
Why not have all root applications use an altered Oxygen theme? Oxygen + different colour scheme?
On the other hand, does the average user (or any user) need to be told twice that an app is running as root? When you keep them open, both as root and as mortal user, yes you need to be reminded. I very often have different konqueror / Dolphin sessions open like this and I need to see the difference. At least I do not want to lose the possibility.
Linux is also different here, Root is a user and not an administrative mode.
Peter It occurs to me then... if we need to make it obvious, we could make it look intentional.
Thanks for understanding. For me a reddish colour theme would be sufficient though. This is what I have to do now every time at a new install. Although I often add a courier font to make all apps really fugly ;-) But not everyone needs such an ugly reminder.
