So I had my perfect desktop and everything was running smooth, and then I decided to press one button on the Unity-Tweak-Tool Software and Booom, my unity-panel is gone, I can't access unity-dash and the themes don't apply correctly.

Best Answer

I've just got the exact same problem and solved it by opening a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T and typing these commands:

unity-tweak-tool --reset-unity
dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
setsid unity

This will make unity-tweak-tool reset every setting to the default value, then reset the compiz configuration, and finally restart unity.
