It's a bit late to tell you this, but the configuration is stored in a file 
~/.config/dconf/user so if you back that up before playing with it, you can 
return to your former configuration by restoring that file.

Have you backed up your home directory lately?  Do you have an "old" copy of 
that file that you can restore?

removing the ~/.config/dconf/user folder worked - it resets everything to clean install state, so one does have to set up everything once more.
I played around again and find that the tweak tool tab

If I pick the Oxygen-gtk as the theme for my GTK windows that this makes the desktop background disappear and go gray - busted in my situation. Just another example of this product (Gnome3 on CentOS7) not really ready for production use.
