I installed kubuntu-desktop via software centre but now everything is messed up in unity. As if the theme was changed but it's still "Ambiance" (the default). It even affects LXDE.
For example…
- Icon theme was changed to some other icon theme.
- Some fonts are different like In Google chrome, fonts like "Hardware Insights Juju…" aren't supposed to be that thin. Also in the indicators' menus; you see it's not even readable and the icon for the language (that looks like this –> [EN] ) is missing.
- Notifications look like kubuntu's.
- Double click to maximize doesn't work any more. It glitches in a weird way. Also there's a bug when switching workspaces but it's hard for me to explain.
- Grub has a black background now.
- after grub, there should appear "Ubuntu" with 5 dots below it. Instead appears "Kubuntu" flashing.
- Who knows what else would I discover :/
What I want: A clean Unity desktop. A brand new one. And I want grub back to its old look. I tried to reinstall unity but it doesn't work. It only uninstalls a few megabytes leaving behind loads of dependencies which really matter and nothing gets fixed. I like kde as long as it doesn't mess things up. Can someone please tell me how to reinstall it or at least any workaround to all those problems though I really really don't prefer this.

I know this answer probably comes too late but I was just using these answers to find out the solution to the same issue and ran into this:
Clean removal of KDE 4
From there I found this website with a one-step-shopping solution for clean ubuntu restoration:

My version was 14.04 and that command works perfectly for me. It removed some software I installed on ubuntu before the installation of KDE but I wouldn't mind reinstall these software since now I have a pure(at least as far as what I see) ubuntu to work on.
