Help me remove Nuala theme on Lion.

[Penrynz]

Yeah, I know. It was all my fault. I installed Nuala theme this afternoon without reading that it was designed only for Snow Leopard. After installation, my Mac become a complete mess. I've been trying to use the built-in uninstaller of the theme but there's no use...

Anyone has any idea? It really drives me mad... I was such a foooooooollllll. :(

Here's the link where I downloaded it: http://www.iconpaper.org/category/mac/osx-themes/page/2/ (Nuala theme)

Here's my pooor desktop screen:

Why don't you re-install Lion? That will just replace all of the resources that were overwritten.

Looks beautiful !

Jokes apart, what whiles did you replace? Maybe someone can send you some vanilla files from LION.

Both the installer and uninstaller contain OS X Snow Leopard system files. Hence the above result.

You can launch the installer > hit cmd + I to see which files have been replaced by the theme > replace those with OS X Lion's original files somehow (maybe a Time Machine backup?). If you can't you're looking at a complete reinstallation your OS.

lol. Sadly,I don't know which file were overwritten...

You can launch the installer > hit cmd + I to see what files have been replaced > replace those with OS X Lion own files somehow (maybe a Time Machine backup?). Or you're looking at a reinstalling your OS.

I tried to recover the OS but currently stuck at the "Downloading additional components". The remaining is about 100h which may take up to forever lol...

I will try the method you give to find out which files were replaced. However I haven't made any Time Machine backups so there's nothing I could to to restore it. I'm at 10.7.4. :)

Edit: Here's the list of files in this install package, can someone help me with these?

Sorry for the poor English, just came out of bed. I'm not a morning person at all. Fixed my post to be a little bit more coherent. -_-"

The only other easy option I can think of is to download and (re)install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo). With a bit of lunch it contains all your replaced system files. It's a long shot though. Personally I would have never bothered and just went ahead with the reinstallation of OS X.

I see you edited your post. Somehow you'll need to obtain the above files and replace them with OS X Lion originals. I can't help you with that since I don't run OS X Lion anymore.

Thanks for your reply. I tried to reinstall but hey, after a 1-2h wait, I'm still stuck at "Downloading additional components" and the ETA is really insane: ~100h. I really lost my patience. :(

Cancel and restart the download. See if that helps.

Still stuck...

[The Guvnor]

Still stuck...

You tried downloading this OS X Lion 10.7.4 Client Combo

Or did you try the ol' sucky Software Update route?

Software Update isn't going to help you if v10.7.4 is already installed....

Still stuck...

You can't cancel?

[Penrynz]

You can't cancel?

I canceled and tried to reinstall again and it was stuck at download screen. How pathetic... :(

I'm downloading the 10.7.4 Combo update, hope it works...

That's about all I can do to help you here.

[f0rk_b0mb]

Backup all of your stuff and re install Lion...or, if your machine is supported, go to the Apple store and pick up 10.8. :) What a great reason to upgrade, huh? :)

haha, that's really funny. At first I thought that was a command or somewhat. :))

[articuno1au]

Ha.. Sorry. I was just trying to be supportive :p

Sweetness bro, nothing like a super lucky day to make you feel alive.

Trust me its all you have until the machines take over and start using human bodies as battery once we take the Sun out until the Governator comes out of his cryogenic chamber to save us by going back in time and having sex with Keanu Reeves.

That said, backup what you can and reinstall. I know its sucks a lot but what other choice do you have.

P.S. I know my grammar is No. 1 & 'No' I will not use a comma or a full stop until Keanu reeves gets impregnated by BatSperm (i.e. Val Kilmer)

after a long night leaving the mac reinstall herself. i finally get it completed. everything's fine except the safari. it always quits unxpectedly when i try to open. here's the damn long details that it gave me:

http://pastebin.com/k2mnGQFD

any idea?

the log says that my safari version ?s 5.1.6 although it's actually 6 (i just updated it 2 days ago). Seems strange...

EDIT: After wandering around the apple support pages. i came accross a safari 6.0 update and yeah! it worked. my system is fine now. thanks you guys for all the support and yet, jokes.. lol. Love ya. ~

Well, no actually. You reinstalled the OS as such you'll have to reinstall all updates that were released after the OS X Lion Installer was downloaded too.

I used to skin Windows with all manner of themes. But since I switched to OSX ... I've not needed or wanted to. It's such a beautifully designed OS (some scrappy areas but generally perfect), that I see no reason to. I hope you get it sorted man. Themes are dangerous things! :D
