Bug Description
Currently, in Ubuntu Studio, when launched from the live session, Ubiquity is using the Adwaita GTK theme, which is inconsistent with the experience. The only way I can think of is to modify the ubiquity.desktop file's Exec= line to the following:
Exec=sudo --preserve-
Note the addition of GTK_THEME. This way the GTK theme is specified and gets preserved in the sudo environment, so long as it is set.
The other part of this fix is using ubuntustudio-
In my testing, no other flavor of Ubuntu required this variable to be set as the correct GTK theme seemed to propogate correctly, probably due to the desktop environments already being GTK-based.
