Bug Description
I have fresh installed Ubuntu 16.04 like two weeks ago or something. Today I have updated packages:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
I have noticed compiz and other packages updated and from article http://
I did:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity lowgfx true
logged off and logged back in.
When I press Super key Dash is launched, but display is totally useless way too transparent. See print screen.
I have never had such a problem. Turning low graphic mode off and this problem disappears.
P.S. I also have the problem with Alt+Tab switcher now background in switcher is white (if white background) it looks the same transparent problem. I turn off low graphic mode, switcher is still white. This is new problem after today Ubuntu update.

Now I have turned off low graphic mode in terminal:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity lowgfx false
And ever worse problem appeared with launcher icons becoming black. I restarted computer and problem persists. See attachment.
If I turn on lowgfx again with:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity lowgfx true
launcher icons are in colour again (but as reported above Dash transparency appear - just like in original bug report).
Did several tests. Turing on/off lowgfx and every time:
- lowgfx false --> black icons in Launcher
- lowgfx true --> icons in Launcher are fine, but original transparency problem in Dash is present
