Can somebody help me? (Desktop Customization)

My UI got all messed up after I installed a couple of apps including (Dragthing, Dock Gone, MenuBar Installment Package (the one from iconpaper)).

I use a MBP13" with Lion 10.7.3.

Here are some screenshots of what my desktop looks like right now:

1. Apple logo has a line through it

(outdated link removed)

2. Weird corners of a window + stretched out apple mark instead of the magnifying glasses

(outdated link removed)

3. Finder buttons are GONE.

Does anybody know what the problem is to this? It's looks so complicated... am I better of reinstalling?

Start by uninstalling all of the customization apps. You'll want to do this the "proper" way - find the uninstallers for each and use those (they are usually included with the app itself).

This will be a good first step. I'm willing to bet that some weird conflict between them is causing some issues.

You have to be VERY CAREFUL with Mac customization apps. They are version specific. One for 10.7.1 will not work with 10.7.2 or 10.7.3.

ahh thank you for the replies, guys. I was wondering if the problems will get fixed if I get the coreservices folder from a friend's mac system and install it in mine?

or would that be pretty dangerous :/

I would definitely recommend you don't do this. Mixing and matching system files will never end up well. Try uninstalling the customization software first.

I tried uninstalling all the softwares already. I think certain parts of my system was replaced, with some graphics overwritten with older versions of the Mac OS?

If the issue still remains after uninstalling, try searching manuallly for some files hasn't been removed..
Some apps doesn't remove everything when you just uninstall..

Or you can simply use TimeMachine..

If the files were overwritten and not backed up, your only option may be a reinstall of your OS.
