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 hit cmd + I to see which files have been replaced by the theme 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

    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
    • "Learning" and "starting" are fine uses of AI. The moment that crap falls into the final game? Lost a sale from me.
    • Don't worry, the majority of its members still suffer from heavy TDS, so these White House simping posts will continue being few and far between.
    • If you're using a webcam for Zoom calls, then any 720p or 1080p cam will do. If on the other hand you want high quality video for streaming or recording, then consider using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, because 99% of 4k webcams will have a tough time achieving same results.
