Copy your local config files to `/root/` (this is the relevant user folder for root/sudo user).  
Depending on program’s toolkit, you need to copy (at least) these:

```auto
$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0
$HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
$HOME/.config/gtk-4.0/settings.ini
$HOME/.config/plasmarc
$HOME/.config/qt5ct/qt5ct.conf
$HOME/.config/Kvantum/kvantum.kvconfig

```

> **Important!**  
> Make sure the settings do not include locally installed themes, only system themes (at `/usr/share`).

A good practice would be to set **a different** root theme than normal user’s, so it is immediately realized it has elevated privileges.
