Hello! I've tried to reproduce your bug, and I've experienced the same problem!
I've opened System->Preferences->Screen Resolution (gnome-display- properties) ; reduced my screen resolution and clicked Ok. The tool switched to the new resolution and, at the same time, it changed the theme, and stopped gnome-settings-daemon. I've also noticed that if I try to set my resolution to the previous value and I click ok, nothing happens! A possible workaround is: open a terminal and run "gnome-settings-daemon" , as a result the original theme is restored. At the same time I can use gnome-display-properties to set my previous resolution. (And it works as expected, without changing my theme!). Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better! ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- gnome-display-properties changes desktop theme https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/324115 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
