Try `unity --reset` - and could you possible post a screens-hot of your desktop? This might also be a theme issues. Meaning you need to set it to default. Right click > change background and below the images you can set it to the theme of your choice – blade19899 Feb 16 '14 at 12:13

Yep, search for software and updates then click on additional drivers you will see a list there. Choose the driver you want.

To reset the theme open terminal Ctrl+Alt+t and use
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme ''
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme ''
gconftool-2 --set --type string /apps/metacity/general/theme ''
