How can I reset Compiz settings to default?

Solution 1:

Execute the following command and then re-login:

rm  -rf ~/.compiz-1 ~/.config/compiz-1

Solution 2:

The script is now bundled with Unity Tweak Tool. You can install it using

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freyja-dev/unity-tweak-tool-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool

To reset Unity, do

unity-tweak-tool --reset-unity

Solution 3:

You probably are missing this last command:

unity --reset-icons

Solution 4:

what worked for me is the solution described in the link posted by Mário:

http://www.liberiangeek.net/2013/04/how-to-restart-unity-and-compiz-in-ubuntu-13-04-raring-ringtail/

Steps:

 sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
 dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
 unity --reset-icons

and login again

Solution 5:

Open a Terminal and type:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure compiz

an relogin...

or type in Terminal for compiz standard:

$ gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz $ rm -rf ~/.compiz
