HI

I have just upgraded from snow leopard to lion. Now every time I boot into my desktop all my finder windows & applications look like the screenshot below.

You have some customizations on your system. Are you using the latest versions of your customizations? What happens when you remove them?

or it may better to uninstall first the customization apps you've installed before, then see, does the finder window remains as it is ?

Thank you for your replies. I had a theme called shades of gray installed. I've tried uninstalling & reinstalling with no luck any ideas :?

Would anyone happen to have a copy of the original theme folders :? Apparently if I copy them to my mac my theme problem should disappear. Can anyone confirm this :?

Uninstall; Shades of Gray and re-install Lion. this should get back the original themes.

Ok so reinstalling lion worked like a charm

. If I install any custom lion themes my system ui breaks & reverts back to this ugly look with missing icons. I can stick with this default look but is there any way I can install custom themes without my system ui breaking :?

The only reason I install a custom theme is to change the close, minimise & maximise buttons...

If the theme break in Lion, they are not Lion themes.

Thats what I was thinking, but the themes say they are lion specific & other people are said to be currently using them. Anyway it doesn't bother me using the default theme. Thank you everyone for your help anyway...
