Clicked "high contrast" during OS install, resulting in irreversably large cursors, wallpaper fails to work

[Wybe Minnebo]

I've clicked "high contrast" during the install of Elementary OS. Upon first boot, the changes seem to have stuck.

- Cursor over text and interactive fields (the type and pointer cursors) are huge
- Other cursor themes (through gnome-tweak-tools) are also either huge or very tiny
- Wallpaper does not work

I've got a similar problem, I also clicked "High Contrast" in the bar at the top of the screen during the installation. Booted for the first time, and now I'm seeing

- Completely white background
- No taskbar on the top of the screen (therefore applications maximize to take up full screen space)
- Plank loads, but has a laggy bounce animation when an application is launched (possibly unrelated)
- Any application window that I am able to launch via Plank (About Plank, Midori, Calendar, Movie Player) always silently crashes immediately after it tries to draw UI elements in the application window.
- When I right-click anywhere on Plank, the box for the right-click menu pops up, but immediately dissappears, presumably silently failing when it attempts to draw the UI as with any application that loads.

Hitting Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to drop back to a console the first time I encountered this issue, I saw a [fail] message about loading an accessibility theme or template, but the word "accessibility" had a space in it, somewhere around the middle (e.g. "Access ibility". I have not been able to reproduce this failure message, perhaps it only occurs after the first boot?

Also of note is that the button for "High Contrast", at least during the install, does not revert to the original theme when clicked twice.
