Reset to default

have you been playing around with the display settings try if so or if not try working with the resolution of you displays as well as other aspects in display settings

to access open up settings and go to displays if not i don't know what to say you should have made a backup so that if something like this happens you can restore your computer to where it was in the previous backup

the only other thing i can think of is to try and open a terminal via [ctrl]+[alt]+[t] and enter the fallowing command

unity --reset

or

sudo unity --reset

this should reset your desktop to where it was when you first installed Linux this may work if you dont have a backup but i'm not guaranteeing it
