Help me remove Nuala theme on Lion.


Recommended Posts

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:

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 hit cmd + I to see which files have been replaced by the theme 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

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.

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. :(

HELL YEAH! After finishing download the Combo Update. I double click and it says: could not open, reason: not regconized.

OMG! What a superrrrrrr lucky day...

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

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
