OK, I ran 'unity --reset' in terminal; here's the result:

As of the reset, the launcher returned to full-size from the 32-pixel width I 
had set prior to reset. But, the background does NOT appear washed out. I am 
going to restart my machine and see what happens then. 

I will update this thread upon restart.
