Hello,


I´d like to thank you TechXero for the Original files. Now I still have to fix the icons on the top bar, but I think it will be easy.


Anyway, if you all guys having trouble getting this to work, just forget "Finder" to replace files. It´s not possible.


You need to use the "Terminal" to make this changes.


I don´t have enought time now to write EVERY simple step to get this done, but, I will try to make it clear.


Unzip the files posted by TechXero on your Desktop.


Open Terminal.


Type:

cd /~/Desktop/ [hit enter]

Now, you´re on the Desktop folder.


Type:

ls [hit enter]

You will se the folder´s tree, now you have to navigate to the folder which theme files are, it will possibly be something like:

/LionUIFix/

So, on the Desktop folder, now type:


cd LionUIFix

Now, you will need do copy the two .bin files to the System´s folder.


Once you are navigating to the LionUIFix folder, on Terminal, type:


sudo cp ArtFile.bin /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreUI.framework/Versions/A/Resources/

It will ask for your Admin password, just type and hit enter.


And again, to the other needed file:


sudo cp SArtFile.bin /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreUI.framework/Versions/A/Resources/

It will ask for your Admin password, just type and hit enter.


Restart your Mac and it´s done. At least the windows decorations and colors will be fine.


I´d like to thank again to the guys who have posted the Original Lion files.


A message to people who could have this tutorial done in 15 minutes, but, prefered not to do it, just because they are too cool for school: This is not nice. Maybe in a near future, you would need help.


Bye,
