I'm a complete Linux newbie who installed Ubuntu 17.04 (Unity) on his DELL XPS 15 9560 laptop - and subsequently after a bit of playing around messed up the UI.
As you can see, the folders list on the left is very tightly packed now, as well as the ThemeIconsCursorFonts tabs in the Unity Tweak Tool on the right.
Moreover, the drop down menus for the fonts there aren't visually distinct from the background anymore.
This all looked just fine until I somehow messed something up.
Being used from Windows 10 to first of all uninstall a bunch of crap (like games) after a clean install, I sudo apt remove
-d a few gnome things that I thought would be safe to kill, like gnome-sudoku
and a few others, and then went sudo apt autoremove
, which to my surprise seemed to wipe away quite a few packages.
Any idea how I can recover whatever it is that I messed up here?
ubuntu-desktop
orubuntu-gnome-desktop
but I am not sure if this would work (be careful). Your issue looks to be more theme dependent though, which one are you using?arc-dark-solid
but it seems that was broken. Now I just changed toarc-theme
and it looks fine again. Thank you!
