FAQ,
your question might already be answered!
general
Q: Could your mod harm my Mac?
A: Everything the mod does is basicly swaping out images... thats it! So there should be no physical harm to your Mac. But be aware you are swapping system files, BACK UP first!

Q: I installed the mod correctly but my mac seams to be slower while booting up?
A: To fix that issue open up Disk Utility select your HHD/SSD (where your OSX is installed) and Repair Disk Permimsions! This should fix your problem.

Q: I changed all files and unchecked Translucent menu bar but my clock is still black?
A: Here you've got two options, 1. you go down the free road and download MagiCal or 2. you spend some money on iStatsMenus with much more options.

Q: I changed all files from the .zip menu bar is black but the user switch and battery text are still black?
A: Currently there is no way making these two texts turn white so i recommend turning fast user switch to icon only and battery text can only be fixed by using iStatsMenus. (as far as i know)
Update! alexzielenski on macthemes.com found a way to change the text and all apple menu bar items to white without changing the files...
