So I switched my desktop environment from Unity to GNOME3 in Ubuntu 16.04. I tried using both display managers (lightdm default in Unity, gdm3 as gnome recommendation). However my display seems to be broken. I am attaching a screenshot for clarification

Your question says you're using 16.04, but you used 14.04 as tag! why? – Anwar May 11 '17 at 06:30

@Anwar Because 16.04 tag didn't show up and I don't have enough rep to create a tag :) – Sudip Bhandari May 11 '17 at 06:39

Then it was better not to use confusing tag. There must be a browser problem because 16.04 is a created and much used tag see here. Anyway, I edited it – Anwar May 11 '17 at 06:41

The problem is associated with gtk-theme you're using, not with display manager. That theme is incompatible. I suggest using other theme.
To switch to default Adwaita theme, which should work always in GNOME, use this command
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Adwaita'

1Thank you so much... I had just been scratching my head about what could have gone wrong!! – Sudip Bhandari May 11 '17 at 06:41

1@SudipBhandari Glad it helped. Also note that you can use other compatible theme beside Adwaita. Just change the name or use gnome-tweak-tool etc – Anwar May 11 '17 at 06:42
