[SOLVED] Ugly password prompt dialog

When I try to do some task requiring root privileges using graphical tools, the dialog asking pasword looks very ugly (I think that is a gtk1 dialog).
I run Xfce desktop environment with all upgrades.

Re: [SOLVED] Ugly password prompt dialog

gksudo and gksu depend on libgksu which depends on gconf which depends on gtk3. Do you have a gtk3 theme?

No, currently no gtk3 theme (It is fresh Xfce installation, no customization).
Can you tell me a good gtk3 theme which is also available in gtk2 so that I have unified look across all of my applications.
Thanks

I like Atolm: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49162 (though I usually don't use it.)
You could also try Drakfire Dream Suite: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=51286

Personnaly I usually use DrakFire Black, but I don't think it's available in a Gtk3 version. I'm not sure which Gtk3 theme I've installed...
