I just got my new asus laptop from the store and wanted to use Ubuntu. But after I installed all updates and stuff, the launcher icons went invisible. They still works and text is displaying when I hover them. All the icons are invisible. I've tried to reinstall unity (http://askubuntu.com/questions/131016/how-can-i-remove-and-re-install-unity) but that does not work.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit and it was all fine until last week. Now, there are several problems that I'm encountering:
I cannot change my desktop background.
Application lens is installed, but no applications are shown in the dash.
Following are the things I've tried:
Installing unity-place-applications and unity-place-files.
After an update, the dock icons on unity 3d are gone. In 2d mode it's normal.
Now I don't know what to do. I already tried replace and reset commands, remove and install unity but nothing works for me.
Unity's bar is still there but there are no icons. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (3.4.0.-030400-generic)
How can I fix this issue?
The Unity LauncherIf you have used Unity in Ubuntu 11.04, you would have noticed the large icons in the Unity launcher. The large icons are a good in larger screens since it makes it easier for the cursor to target it. But on smaller screens, like on netbooks, it could be too large and get in the way.
How can I repair my 12.04? Various icons are missing. Should I apt-get remove and apt-get purge and then apt-get install unity or will that make it worse? I've seen infinite loops as a result of unity --reset and unity --reset-icons.
Aside: I have applied this fix to prevent icons from disappearing, so if I can get my icons back, they will probably not go missing again.

How do I shrink the Unity launcher icons to make them smaller?
I'm looking for a way to make my desktop icons (Unity launchbar) smaller. I installed ccsm and then tried Alt/F2 and entered "about config". However, when I enter "about config", a purple Unity icon comes up, but when I click on it, nothing happens.
