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 hit cmd + I to see which files have been replaced by the theme 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

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
