Ah, I see. You started with Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 and then upgraded. So you likely still have the upstream theme that is grey. And "grey" is not a problem.

I think maybe a few related bugs have been grouped in there so first please wait for the fix for bug 1769383 to see if it improves things. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1812373 Title: Desktop is not restored correctly after screen saver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1812373/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
