Can't say exactly what might have done this, (I was trying Xephyr and removed some old kernels in my last good session..) but now I can see that some mess has been made.

  • The themes don't apply properly, here's a snapshot. The dark colours of the panel and the menu bar are not meant to be for my Radiance theme. The Icon themes too resist to change; snap1

  • I tried to login with gnome2 environment and all I get is a super zoomed window, the mouse cursor almost than the size of my palm! (but gnome2 is working fine for another user in the system);

How can I fix these?

Update 01:

Here's a snap showing gnome-tweak-tool and dconf-editor window theme is already set to Radiance but still...

Something seems to be wrong with Shell Theme.. Is it?

advancedSettings

(..also I noted Adwaita being default, shouldn't that be Ambiance? Isn't Ambience the default for Ubuntu 12.04?)

Update 02:

Despite changing Icon theme to Moka and Window theme to Radiance the changes don't apply. uTweak

Firefox shouldn't appear the way it is now with Radiance.. firefox

RE the themes

You need to set both the GTK theme and the window manager theme to the theme you want to use:

  1. Install Ubuntu Tweak.

  2. Navigate to this page in Ubuntu Tweak and set both "Gtk theme" and "Window theme" to the one you want to use.

  • an upgrade is in progress, so I'll try that later.. but I do have dconf with me, any ideas with the schema for the same? and yes with dconf too I'm unable to change the Icon theme the way I could before.. – rusty Feb 12 '14 at 08:25

    @hash: No idea. :P When it's done, though, try running a dconf watch / command while changing the value in Ubuntu Tweak. That's a great way to find the dconf entry for settings sometimes. – kiri Feb 12 '14 at 08:28
  • ubuntu-tweak doesn't help either.. window theme is already set to Radiance.. updated Q.. – rusty Feb 12 '14 at 10:49
