Switched back to nouvea, will reboot now and get back to you. Honestly, thank you so much for replying to my post so quickly.

Open up Menu, Settings, Install Drivers and remove the nvidia legacy driver, then reboot. Then open up Menu, Settings, Install Drivers, select the proprietary tested driver, then reboot. I don't know if this will return your system to 'normal' but it's a good place to start. Correct driver install procedure is in the Help Manual here - https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/hardware.html#nvidia

So yeah GT 430 :/

I remember right after I logged in from rebooting it asked me to switch back to default, but at the time didn't know what that meant. Is there a way to get that prompt window back?
I've tried rebooting again didn't work.

Thanks for trying to help solve my issue.

I recently installed linux lite. I went to change from the nouvea driver to the nvidia legacy updates driver, restarted my pc. I remember being prompted to have default xfce  or something else and I think I clicked ok but can't remember. Then my whole xfce system went from the normal xfce setup that comes when you install linux lite to the default bad looking default xfce that is plain xfce. Does anyone know how I can change this back?
Thanks help is much appreciated.

This is what it looks like now:
