  • Try unity --reset - and could you possible post a screens-hot of your desktop? This might also be a theme issues. Meaning you need to set it to default. Right click > change background and below the images you can set it to the theme of your choice

To reset the theme open terminal Ctrl+Alt+t and use

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme ''

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme ''

gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/general/theme ''
