Lost gtk theme style in login screen after Compiz crashed

  • 772

Normally, all controls in login screen (button, textbox, etc..) have the current gtk-theme style. But after Compiz crashed (always happen when I enable or disable a plugin), the style has gone (no more transparent button, rounder textbox, or my current icon theme), instead there are ugly Windows-95-like buttons, textbox and unknown-theme icon.

Is this a Compiz bug? How could I fix it?

PS: Im on Ubuntu 12.04 (Unity).

This is my Ubuntu login screen:

The textbox and button are squared

This is the default Ubuntu login screen:

I'm on Dell Vostro 1540 with Intel HD 3000 VGA. At first, my login screen looks nothing wrong. But after Compiz crashed (when I enable or disable any plugin), the login screen looks like the above pictures. So, I don't think my graphics card is the problem.

  1. I also had a similar problem with unity.I guess that is a problem with your graphics card.Compiz has problems supporting the 82G965 Chipset.

    You can try to revive the menubar's look with the following command:

    killall gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-settings-daemon &

    On the other hand,try to login from the Ubuntu Classic Session,then install Unity 2D and then login again from the Unity 2D Session.
