Uninstalling Whiteout from OS X Tiger
Installed Whiteout.dmg on Tiger 10.4? Want to get back to normal after realising it messes up Mail.app amongst other things? Then read this very quick guide as found on a French forum. And no, I cannot be held responsible for anything that might or might not happen to you, your Mac or anything else! No warranties, no returns and strictly no spitting. Thank you.
Instructions
- Open the Terminal.app (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
- Then type in the following (just copy-n-paste):
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIToolbox.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ - Press Enter/Return
- Then type in the following followed by enter:
sudo mv Extras.rsrc Extras.rsrc.BAD
Enter your normal user pass when prompted! - Type in the following followed by enter:
sudo mv Extras.rsrc.orig Extras.rsrc
Enter your normal user pass when prompted! - Then close everything down and restart your Mac
- Log back in and keep your fingers crossed…
- Open a folder and enjoy the good old (ugly) metalised theme
