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"?
NOT in Plasma constraints of any sort as I had initially thought probable
If I log into plasma as root just to TS
"TS" is ??
Trouble shooting
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" .... but "My method" is not offered or explained and unknown to me. perhaps someone else reading may know it, but ...
from the top 20 or more years ago I decided that even as a mortal user the 'File Manager Super-User Mode' launched by me would produce a Konqueror or later Dolphin window in revoltingly red colors to serve as an alert that I was using a root-empowered utility. Concurrently I changed the classic yellow kde filemanager ikon in the panel to a red one instead and with the then already also classic cannonball pasted to it. All this time I kept just injecting the old /root color schemes files, in fact the entire migrating /root folder into every new installation using kde or lately Plasma. The red cabinets just kept showing up as intended, until recently. That's about all I can say at this point without risking misleading anyone. I still have the red cabinets in my 'user' panel but I also want the red filemanager widows back but only when calling 'File-Manager Super-User Mode'.
