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:

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 hit cmd + I to see which files have been replaced by the theme 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

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

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
