ITunes 11 how can the window background colour be changed from white to black in Grid View?

How do I change the window background colour ,in Grid View, from the new, default, white back to the good old, more easy on the eye, black?
Apple did this to us in iPhoto some time ago and had to add a preference for shades of grey other than white. Why didn't Apple learn from this mistake?

It is good to know I am not alone. The first thing I did after downloading iTunes 11 was go into preferences to change the background color. But alas, the option for a dark background is gone. I also was kind of disappointed in the lack of ability to resize the artwork, but not to the extent of some other commenters here.
I will say this though. I love the way the albums expand with custom colored backgrounds based on each album's artwork colors. This looks fantastic. Still it would be nice to accomodate those who prefer to use a dark background for the overall application's theme.
So, Apple, I join with my fellow users in requesting the return of resizable artwork, and the option for at least a dark (or an even further customizable) background color for the overall theme of the application. Thanks!
Godspeed,
Nuckels

    how do i change an entire page from white to black?
    thanks

    If you want all your pages to have a black background, make that background object a Section Master object too.

  • How can the Windows Media Player 12 be made to play WVC210 .avi files?

    I just built a new computer and it won't play the motion captured videos of the WVC210. It has Windows 7 Home Premium as the operating system. My machines running XP play the WVC210 files GREAT. Is there a codec I can add to the WMP12 so that it will play the .avi files. I have 3 cameras around the property, 2 WVC210 and 1 WVC200. 1 camera has the audio turned off so switching to MP4 (no audio) made that work OK. But the camera in the office I need to have audio and would rather stick to WMP over something like VLC. VLC plays the files fine but I much prefer WMP. I'm hopeing to find out how to have Windows Media Player 12 play the .AVI files from the WVC210 cameras. Any Help??

    There appears to be issues with codecs on WMP 12 and Windows 7
    AND\OR your WMP is missing the necessary codecs.
    Google the Net and you should find different things to try
    for the WMP 12.

  • Ios7 control and notification center do not take the background colour,it's plan white and black.hi

    hi
    when swiping down the notification and the control center,it doesn't take the background colour as shown in the ios 7 videos, instead it's plain white and black-i am using an iphone 4,anybody else with the same issue on their iphone 4 or higher?

    Hi - I have an iPhone 4 as well.
    The problem is that the iPhone 4 only gets a sample of what is shown in the ios 7 videos. The iPhone 5, 5s and 5c can run those graphics, however the iPhone 4 can not. To get a "demo" of what it looks like, go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Increase Contrast    and turn that toggle off. This will give your phone a slight transparency effect for notif and command center, however it is nowhere near what was shown in the vids.
    Sorry for the inconvenience, hope this clarified everything,

  • How can I export comments and tracked changes from Pages to PDF?

    Hello,
    I would like to know how I can export my pages document to a pdf that still keeps the comments I had made in the pages version. I am using the latest version of Pages by the way.
    Thanks in advance...

    Last week I printed a Pages '09 document to PDF and it carried over all the comments and marked up changes.  This week I foolishly updated to Pages 5 and it won't do this anymore.  If you need to print to PDF and get the comments in the document, you have to switch back to Pages '09, which I am doing tomorrow.  Cannot believe they gutted Pages like this. 

  • Edit background in iPhoto has changed from white to black

    Hello
    A friend of mine used to do all her editing in iPhoto '08 and has now got iPhoto '09. iPhoto '09 has a black background for editing pictures whilst iPhoto '08 had a white one, this change in background completely ruins her way of working as it's essential she has a white background to compare her image to while she is working on it.
    Is the only solution to chuck out '09 and continue working with '08? I've spent much time searching on Google for an answer, I didn't believe they would have changed this without making it a preference or something.
    Thanks in advance for your time and help
    Ben

    It is what it is what it is.:( Submit a feature request to Apple to allow users set the edit background color as well as the thumbnail background color via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
    To go back to iPhoto 08 you will need to start over from scratch. To to so launch iPhoto 08 with the Option key depressed and select new library from the next window.
    Next, open the old iPhoto 09 library package in the Finder as follows:
    Click to view full size
    Drag the Originals folder from that library into the open iPhoto 08 window to import all of the original files into the new 08 library.

  • How can the thickness of Cursor be changed in cwgraph with VB?

    Dear all,
    I want to change the thickness (width) of curse in a cwgraph with vb in run time. Any comment will be greatly appreciated.
    with best regards

    Cursors do not allow you to specify a line width. You can, however, specify a different point style if you are just trying to make the cursor stand out.
    If you need the lines to be thicker, you could create 2 line annotations and have them draw on top of your cursor. Annotations were added in Measurement Studio 6.0.

  • How can I export comments and tracked changes from Pages to Word?

    I just purchased Pages and tried to export a couple pages of my document to Microsoft Word so I could send them for review to a client who does not have Pages; however, when I copy-pasted into Word, none of the comments or tracked changes showed up in the doc., only the finished product. I've tried updating my software, but that hasn't worked. Is there a way to fix this?

    Here is what the Pages User Guide says:
    " Exporting Pages Documents to Other File Formats
    If you want to share your Pages documents with those who aren’t using the latest version of Pages, you can export your document to file formats that they may be able to use on their computers or other devices:
    • PDF: You can view PDF files in iBooks, and view or print them in Preview and Safari. You can edit them with a PDF application. Fonts used in the Pages document are preserved in the PDF file.
    Hyperlinks in your Pages document are exported to the PDF file. Hyperlinks are also created in the PDF file for table of contents entries, footnotes and endnotes, webpages, email addresses, and bookmarks.
    • Microsoft Word: You can open and edit Microsoft Word files in Microsoft Word on a computer running Mac OS X or Windows.
    Because of text layout differences between Microsoft Word and Pages, an exported Word document may contain a different number of pages than its Pages counterpart. You may notice other differences, as well, for example, table layouts and some special typographic features may not be identical. Some graphics (particularly those using transparency) may not display as well. Charts created in Pages appear as MS Graph objects, which you can edit in Microsoft Word.
    • RTF: You can open and edit RTF files in many different word processors. RTF files retain most of the text formatting and graphics.
    • Plain text: You can open and edit plain text files in many text editing applications, such as TextEdit. Exporting to plain text removes all document and text formatting, and images aren’t exported. ePub: You can open ePub files for reading in the iBooks application on an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, or in any ePub file reader. After you export your document to ePub format, you must transfer it to your device to read it in iBooks. To learn more about optimizing a document for ePub format, exporting it, and transferring it to your device, see “Creating an ePub Document to Read in iBooks” on page 257.
    If your Pages document is password-protected, the password-protection is removed from the new file that's created upon export. However, if you export to the PDF file format, you can apply a new password at the time of export. "

  • Can the CPU in T510 be changed from i7-620M to i7-720QM?

    Hello,
    Does any know if I can change the CPU on T510 (i7-620 --> i7-720QM or i7-740QM) by myself? Have anyone done the similar thing?
    Regards
    Frank

    haven't heard people upgrading the dual core to the quad core CPU. The only thinkpads to support the quad core is the W701 and the W510.

  • [noob question] setting window background colour?

    Hi,
    Am just getting to grips with basics of Xcode, Coacoa and IB, been looking at some easy examples and just set myself my first exercise; to build the C# Introductory Video example app
    OK, basically all I want to do is open the colour picker from a button and set the window background colour. But still with nothing more than an empty window in IB I can't find any obvious means to define it's background colour (not even statically)?
    Hope someone can help with this dead easy question... (my Coacoa programming book is still on it's way from Amazon
    Ceers,
    Rich
    PS. just looking for a nudge in the right direction, please - not a step by step description how to write my sample app, as well meant as that might be. cheers

    +Although I'm guessing from the underlying tone you're already pretty experienced and it's been a long time since you sat down yourself and first started to "look through the documentation"?!?+
    Sorry didn't mean to let the tone bleed through that much.
    But seriously I assumed there was an NSWindow function that did it, checked the documentation, found it, mocked it up in 5 minutes (alright 10 I'm still getting used to IB in Xcode 3), tested it to make sure it worked as expected and then answered your post. Not that you should have been able to do that as quickly but I could do it because I have slogged through the process for other objects I had used.
    Really this is a pretty basic Cocoa kind of operation. I have object X supplied but Cocoa (eg NSWindow, NSTextBox, etc.) and I want to do operation Y. Operation Y is almost always already there for you just waiting to be used. Learning this process of finding these things in the documentation and using them is really crucial to being a proficient Cocoa developer.
    In Xcode 2 Help > Documentation will give you the searchable API and just type in NSWindow. In Xcode 3 selecting an object - like NSWindow - will change the Help > Documentation menu to point to NSWindow directly.
    Cocoa is a very "lived in" API and it has clearly been evolved by people who really used it so it has the buttons and levers right where you want them most of the time. I assumed that NSWindow had a function to change the color simply because it would make sense that it would. And when I checked it did, but my making that assumption and being able to find the function comes from doing the heavy lifting already on other objects.
    I'm just hoping you take this as an example of how to do this and next time dig into the docs and find the function. There is no way to be good at it without doing it and getting good at it gives you access to Cocoa's rich API and will get you very far because you get all that programming other people have done for you for (almost) free.
    Good luck,

  • How do you make the address toolbar colour follow the Windows theme colour?

    Firefox used to follow the Windows 7 theme in the address toolbar; if the windows are coloured green then the address toolbar is coloured green. Now the Address toolbar is a gross grey-blue colour. Previously, only the tabs and the bookmarks toolbar had their own yucky grey-blue colour, but it's spread upward!
    How do I change this?
    I would really love any solutions that did not require me to install a new theme, as whenever I have done that in the past it has always impaired performance (slows down the loading of the browser).

    You can use a custom style rule to change the color. Custom style rules can be applied to the user interface either using the Stylish extension or by creating a file named userChrome.css in your profile (settings) folder.
    To create the rule, though, I think someone might need to see the particular shade of green. I don't know whether it is possible to detect that automatically.
    Alternately, you could make the background of the address bar transparent so the color behind it shows through. There's an example of that kind of rule in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1000123]. If that looks too naked, one might try a translucent background (e.g., white, but only 10% opaque so most of the background color shows through).
