Messed up with Ubuntu compizconfig settings manager? Reset compiz to get it back

If you ever messed up your compiz settings in Ubuntu with Compizconfig settings manager and don't know what to do then this is a trick to get your old desktop back. I messed with the settings and the windows were not displaying outlines and this fixed it instantly.
To get started, press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal window. If that doesn't work Ctrl+Alt+F1 should work. When it opens, run the below command to reset Unity and Compiz settings:
Code:
[Select]
dconf reset -f /org/compiz/
After that, run the below command to restart Unity:
Code:
[Select]
setsid unity
This will restart your desktop with all the default Ubuntu settings so you can mess it up again.
