When I open my Ubuntu 18.04, some app and folder icons are coloured grey. I don't mean greyed-out but covered with a dark grey overlay. (I can see a little orange peeking out on the tops.) It's not just the desktop icons, but much of what is usually orange (e.g. the software updates progress bars). I recently tried unsuccessfully to install or enable some apps in the terminal, not knowing what I was doing or what I have done. (I usually get help with this stuff from people much more knowledgeable than me, but am lately on my own.) Not knowing what I did, I don't know if it's a good idea to just move to trash those apps on the desktop it seems I won't be using (like ARChon Packager Manager and android-studio), but the 'home' folder I put on the desktop and have been using has the same appearance. So far, everything seems to function as usual, but I'm concerned I'm being told something I should know that I don't understand. Is there something wrong here that should be attended to? (I hope I don't have to go back in the terminal and use commands to reverse my mistakes.) Or should I just ignore it as long as there's no apparent problem? Add edit: On viewing related posts, I see something similar related to symbolic icons and running applications. I don't know what those terms mean, but I do remember something I tried to add having the word 'runtime'. Could this be what I'm seeing?

It's just the new theme of the Yaru icons theme. (You may have installed communitheme). Your system is just updated to use the new theme.
