Gnome "open as administrator" background color?

With nautilus-gksu installed, is there a way to make any folder opened in admin mode a different color (red!?) - as a reminder so I don't do something stupid as root?

on ubuntu ??? unknown .
but on fedora,suse,RHEL,SL,CentOS,Arch

I set the root account to a VERY different theme than the one used by the normal user account

that way when i run ( gedit, or nautilus or some other program) i can tell i am ROOT at a very quick glance

Now to do that i do need to login to gnome/KDE, as root, at least once .
