Hi,
openSUSE installation defaults to creating a sudo user,
The sudo user can be anyone. You probably talk about super user.
does. This makes the desktop experience inconsistent and amateurish.
Besides aesthetic experience there is also prevention of missteps. Giving absolutely the same graphic to system management tool is aesthetically correct, but helps new user to accept YaST as normal application and freely do things that can lead to system instability. It is normal industrial practice to keep commands which use can have dangerous consequences separated by position, color and shape, from the rest of the command panel. IMO, YaST is not enough different from the rest of the desktop.
I don't think it's technically impossible or even difficult to pull off, since after all, if you sudo vim (for example), it uses your personal settings.
See. That is not good. My root console is different from user console, and not only for default color of the command prompt, which is recent improvement. It has different background. For me that is enough difference that I did not mistakenly used root console as user one for many years. Default colors are white background for user and light yellow for root. Mine is black background for user and no change for root. Before I started practicing to change color of user screen, it happened not once to type commands in root console thing it is user one, which is call for trouble.
