I'd take a picture, but as ALL shortcut keys currently do not work (including Alt+F2), I will just have to try and use words.
Basically, I was using gnome-tweak or Advanced Settings or whatever you want to call it to change the window border to something more of my liking, ie, something other than Adwaita. I remembered that you had to restart the gnome shell or something to get the new borders to appear, so first I tried running "rt" with Alt+F2. However, nothing happened. So then I tried "r" or "restart" in the Run Command prompt, and can you guess what happened?
I lost all window borders, the top panel, menus, everything. In order to launch anything at all, first I have to go to File->New Window (apparently file menus for individual programs still work, so I can still launch a new Nautilus/File Manager window). Then, I have to search for the program (typically Terminal, as you can run everything from there). Keep in mind, Alt+F2, Alt+Tab, basically everything that relies on a keyboard shortcut does not work. Though, I can still close windows/programs using Alt+F4, but that's the only way to switch focus to another "window". (I can still drag Google Chrome around, however.)
I am still able to log into a Unity or GNOME Classic (no effects) session, but I would really rather not use Unity if at all possible, and I would really like my GNOME 3 back.
