App interface post 15.10 upgrade

[lynwode]

Hey Folks.
I'm sure this is a quick config issue but I'm tired and brain is in neutral !

Post a 15.10 upgrade a number of apps look like they have stepped back in time to the early 90's !

Eclipse, MySQL Workbench, Skype, UltraEdit to name a few look awful. I assume (probably wrongly) that this is due to GTK changes in Wily.

I vaguely remember this happening before but as I said my brain is in neutral tonight. Is there any tweak I need to make?

Hope this makes sense !

Cheers,
Tim.

Were you using some theme prior to upgrading?

The tweak is called "re-install the apps." The Synaptic Package Manager gives an option to re-install apps. If there are newer versions in the 15.10 repositories then you will get the newer versions.

@Vladlenin5000 - the same theme
@grahammechanical - no dice - still the same

Any ideas?

Try these commands, one after the other with return in between, then reboot:



sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade


Post any and all errors that these commands spit out.

Well looks like Xinerama was the culprit.
I disabled that and everything looks fine now (also solved a issue with Nautilus crashing when dragging files). The only downside is that I know only have two monitors.....

Time for a new thread.....
