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...-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.

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 hit cmd + I to see which files have been replaced by the theme 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.

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.

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....

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? :)
