I have a brand new System76 machine, which shipped with 15.04 and Unity. I'm getting it set up and somewhere along the line I managed to turn my launcher green. I am still using the "ambiance" theme, but suddenly the launcher is this cloying shade of turquoise and I absolutely loathe it.

The problem is that I can't figure out when this happened. At some point I installed CCSM and then realized I didn't want it, and removed it, but I'm not sure either was what did it. Either way ... how do I change it back to boring old ambiance slate?

    Also, what colour is your background? I've notice in my 15.04 installation that the launcher likes to change colour to match my background. I currently use a photograph of a field of heather, so my launcher is a nice, mellow purple colour. This could be the culprit.

  • @HeatherBrown it was the background, indeed.

This by default happens automatically when you change your wallpaper.

sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

Launch it and click on "Launcher". "Appearance" should be on "Based on wallpaper" but you can also select a custom color.
