How to reset KDE desktop to default on Ubuntu 14.04?

Question

KDE and Gnome Desktops were looking awesome on my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, today everything seemed ugly. Slim long font, arabic letters in Chromium/Firefox are barely readable no matter how big I made them on system font settings. How can I get back to my previous looks settings, without compromising other settings and tweaks?

Here are my versions:

kde4-config -v:

Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.13.3
kde4-config: 1.0

kded4 --version:

Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.13.3
KDE Daemon: 4.13.3

Have you recently run updates, (un)installed packages, or changed any settings that could of caused this? — Wilf, Nov 28 '14 at 14:43
I do a lot of installing as I use it for College projects, but I don't recall any specific change. I noticed this when I restarted my pc. — El Zo, Nov 28 '14 at 15:41

To reset your USER kde:

mv ~/.kde4 ~/.kde4.old

Then restart your pc. It will set your KDE settings to default..

All the setting will be set to default.

It may be called just .kde (it is on my [fedora] system) – Panther Nov 28 '14 at 19:46
As the filename begins with a ., it also a hidden file, so you may need to read this question – Wilf Nov 28 '14 at 20:46
@LostLife Thanks. it's just .kde, though, not .kde4, as bodhi.zazen said. – El Zo Nov 29 '14 at 21:21
