Desktop forgets theme?

I reinstalled my Ubuntu box with 10.10 (after my dabbing of 11.04 turns out to be a futile experience). The box is clean. I install the typical packages (Google Chrome, Dropbox, build-essentials, ...).

However, now whenever I login into GNOME. The GNOME panels and decorations look weird. They don't like they have the ambience theme on. Even if I choose the Ambience theme of Ubuntu, the theme is not applied.

Currently my desktop looks very ugly. All I want is my default Ubuntu looks back.

  1. Try to use another window manager, like emerald.

    Type sudo apt-get install emerald to install the emerald window manager.

    After installing it type emerald --replace to replace your current window manager.

    I hope this helped you, Daniel
