Top left: Terminal, top right: Firefox, bottom: Files

I'm running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS and I'm having issues with displaying native Linux apps (Terminal, Files, Settings, etc.). Whenever I launch the Terminal, I get a fully transparent box, whereas any other native app just displays a full black box. Non-native apps such as Firefox display correctly. I have to mention that I have been using Linux for months and never had any trouble with these apps before, I didn't install anything or run any command before these issues started occurring.

Thank you for your help!

after an upgrade of a few packages I had the same problems under various Desktop environments in my 16.04 installation (Gnome,Gnome Classic and the Default). All the menus were blacked out no more console window etc.. All other programs like e.g. chrome were fine. So after backing up the most important data to an external HDD. I run a " apt-get dist-upgrade" as sudo after I had switched to non GUI via ctrl alt F1. This solved the problem for me after the restart. Now everything is back to normal.
