Editor Style permanently changed, how to change back?

Question

A few weeks ago, I was messing around with editor styles (I wanted to use them for a custom editor) and I managed to accidentally change the background for things like Hierarchy and Project windows.

I thought the issue would only affect the project I had loaded at the time, but it appears that it affects all projects. In fact, even when I uninstall and reinstall Unity, the problem persists. I thought perhaps editor styles were cached in appdata, but when I deleted temp data in the various sub-directories, there was still no change.

I also tried resetting colors in Edit > Preferences, but no luck.

Does anyone know where I need to go to reset Unity editor styles?

Yes, but this didn't result in any changes.

Hello!

I did this mistake too... The result of my experiments was the changing of all the help boxes of Unity. But here I found a solution that worked for me. What you need to do is the following (I show as an example the modification of the background on the help box of Unity):

 EditorStyles.helpBox.normal = null;
 EditorStyles.helpBox.active = null;
 EditorStyles.helpBox.focused = null;
 EditorStyles.helpBox.hover = null;

Then restart the Unity editor and everything should be normal!

Good luck on the path!
