strange different themes for same user in same application
 

I have a small utility i am executing - once by a queen beecon widget, and once from xterm. for both executions, i'm using the same command with sudo - both are for the "root" user.

nevertheless, the UI seems and behaves differently - it's like 2 different themes (see attached pics).

Why is this happening? how can i control which "theme" to be used?

What is your "small utility" made with?
It looks like one is running as root and one isn't.
Why do you need root to run those commands anyway?

It doesn't matter if i use root or user - i'm getting the same behavior which is different UI for the same user - this is what i do:

i'm executing the following command from a queen beecon widget:
bash /home/user/smart/scripts/Launchers/CarModeSelection
it runs as "user" - i verified that by adding this to the end of the "CarModeSelection" script:
id -un>/res.txt
when i execute the following from x-term:
su user -c "bash /home/user/smart/scripts/Launchers/CarModeSelection"

the output being written to the file is the same - "user", but the UI looks different (see photos) from the one displayed when executed from the widget.

the UI is of a utility i wrote in C# using GTK# which is being executed from the "CarModeSelection" script.

And do you really use bash as your X-Terminal shell?
The default X-Terminal shell from busybox is ash.

ash is no good - it does not support arrays operations in shell scripts. when using it i get "unexpected redirection" for this command for example:

IFS='_' read -a array <<< "$settings"

Try running from x-term:

It should produce the "correct" output (you didn't say which of the two photos is the right one).

Arent you inheriting the users theme when you run it under queen beecon and the roottheme when you run it in a shell.

thanks man - seems environmental settings in "run-standalone.sh" solves the issue.
