Ubuntu – Launcher icons invisible, still work in 12.04

12.04iconslauncherunity

Rebooted my PC today to find that my launcher icons are not showing on the launcher bar, even though they are still there. I can hover over the launcher bar and see (via the mouse tool-tip) that they are still there, and I can even interact with them. I cannot, however, see them even after doing the following:

Trying to reset unity via unity --reset

Have you tried unity --reset-icons?

It's best to run this kind commands from tty1. Press Ctrl+Alt+f1, log in and then enter these commands:

unity --reset-icons
unity --reset
reboot
