I did right-click and saw the “Mk for Reinstallation” option, but it is grey and I cannot click on it (not available), I don’t know why. The only available options are uninstall.
@Aravisian I’m running Zorin OS 15 Ultimate (that’s the license I bought a while ago).
Same message when I run “zorin-appearance” --version:

You may have something in your ~/.local/share/ directory that is overriding your /usr/share/glib-2.0/ directory.
You can test this by renaming the directory to ~/.local-bkp and rebooting. Test if Zorin Appearance is working.
If it is, then it may be necessary to sort through your .local-bkp directory to transfer over any user data you wish to keep that was not affecting this issue.
If it does not work, then remove the replacment ~/.local directory that was formed after your reboot and rename the ~/.local-bkp back to ~/.local - at which point: This may be a schema syntax error. If so, I am uncertain how to proceed. The Zorin Team may know the proper fix on that. As you chose Zorin Ultimate, you also have the ability to us ethe Contact form that comes with it.
And we can shoot them a message from this forum - keep in mind, it may take some time for them to see and record the response.
Not trying to necro, but I am having the EXACT same issues!
Did you get a resolution? I just updated today from 15, and it went from being the gorgeous Zorin I loved to an ugly hunk of junk that has almost 0 features that existed before. Windows button doesn't work to open the menu, can't type in the applications window to find one I want either. But I just wonder if it is tied to the Zorin Appearance app not working.
iknowyerbad, did you accept a Direct Upgrade to "20.04"? Because if so, it installed Ubuntu 20.04 on your machine, not Zorin OS. Zorin OS 16 is based on Ubuntu 20.04, but any upgrades for it will be called to Zorin 16.
I have used Ubuntu 20.04 side by side with Zorin OS 16 and ... I can certainly understand the discontent at finding Ubuntu 20.04 on your machine instead.
Currently, the Zorin OS Direct Upgrade Option is not available.
In order to use the Direct Upgrade option, a release file within Root must be changed. Did you install Zorin OS on your machine or did it come installed with the machine?
Lastly, if your machine now has Ubuntu 20.04 on it; Sadly, the only thing you can do at this point is Re-Install Zorin OS. Please be sure to back up all of your important files.
I made a thread not long ago about [HOW TO] make an easier time of reinstalling Zorin OS, but since your case may be different (Your sources.list changed to different repositories), it may not apply in your case.
Yes, I wanted to avoid creating confusion. I figured I would mention it and if the poster wants to know more, they'll ask.
EDIT IN: Also, to both OP's above, do you use a Third Party updater app other than Software & Updates or Software Updater than what comes with Zorin OS? Might help narrow down the cause. Thanks to Zaba for bringing that possibility to light.
I installed the 20.04 Ubuntu update and I want to know if with this OS I'll be notified with the upcoming Zorin OS 16 update. Do you know if this is going to happen?
