[12-21-21 07:22]: I don't know if this is a plasma or a suse issue...
When user launches dolphin-su a little alert appears, which is a useful flag but I used to have an even better one that could not be just clicked OFF and forgotten. I used to set, as root, a background color of reddish orange so that when any user called dolphin-su that window would be in root's colours. UNFORTUNATELY this feature is now dead, dolphin-su shows up indistinguishably dressed in user colors :-(
probably an application problem
where did you get "dolphin-su"? what system are you running?
I just noticed this 'File-Mangler Super User' novelty on Suse-Leap-15.3 yesterday
has been that way on plasma5 for as long as I can remember.
but now that I look into it in unsuspected places it seems to hail from elsewhere.
where is that "elsewhere"?
If I log into plasma as root just to TS
"TS" is ??
and launch Dolphin, GONE are the kde (bright red) colors that I had previously set up just for this purpose.
I don't understand and you have not explained "that I had previously set up". my understanding is it is plasma5 default presentation.
I haven't yet checked my other systems also offering kde (Artix, Devuan, Slack).
nor have I.
openSUSE Leap 15.3, Kernel=5.3.18-59.37-preempt on x86_64, DM=sddm, DE=KDE, ST=x11,grub2, GPT, BIOS-boot
I run Tumbleweeds
Dolphin as SU now shows an SU alert of it's own but that can be clicked OFF (and forgotten). My method (proofed over 20 years) was explicit and indelible. In fact I even made a root-fm panel icon for this purpose, kfm-su, attached :-)
but "My method" is not offered or explained and unknown to me. perhaps someone else reading may know it, but ...
ciao
