<p>Geany is supposed to use the system theme, as your user version does, so that one is correct.</p>
<p>Why the root user isn't supplied with a theme is a Kubuntu issue.  Maybe a Kubuntu user might be able to help.</p>
<p>Also Geany devs do not support running Geany as root, is a complicated application and your security isn't guaranteed. [required disclaimer]</p>
