How to change screen background color in iTunes

I just uploaded the latest version of i-tunes, and now my screen that lists my playlists is black and I can only see the names of playlists when I cursor over them. Also, the library song list screen is now purple, used to be blue. Any way I can change?

How can I change the background color of my podcast's iTunes page?

My RSS feed just got accepted but now I need to customize the title, author, background color, and logo of my site. Does anyone know how to do this? Thank you!

You can't change the background colour - it's white for audio and black for video. The other data can be changed by changing the appropriate tag in the feed, or if you're using a program or online service to make your podcast,. wherever they provide for entering this information.
The title is carried in the 'title' tag; the author in the 'itunes:author' tag, and the 'podcast image' which appears on the Store page in the 'itunes: image' tag. Republish the feed after making the amendments: it will take a couple of days for the new data to appear, though the image may take several days.
The image which appears in some podcasts in the bottom left-hand corner of iTunes when subscribing is not referenced in the feed but has to be actually embedded into the media file: please see this page:

ITunes 11 Changing Background Color

O.K. got the shiny new itunes 11 but want to keep my old background color. I prefer the darker background instead of the sterile white look.
I remember a long time ago I was able to change it in the older itunes but forgot where or if its even possible to do this now.
Also if anybody has figured out a way to change the font on it would be nice, I really do not like the current font.
Thanks

Unfortunately you can have the dark backgrounds but it breaks iTunes. There are many areas that will keep the black text so it will be black text on a black background.

Hate to say it guys but I have a black background and am trying to get back to whit but there is no option to do so as far as I can see. I already had my libary in the dark mode before downloading the update from the App Store. Looks great for albums and books but the tire info in movies is such a dark grey you can't actually read it, have to put it into list view to see everything properly.
I had this same problem. The fix is simple. Go into terminal and paste the line below and hit enter. (with iTunes closed). Should be all set after that.

ITunes 9 grid view background color?

It seems iTunes 9 has changed the background color of grid view from black to white. How can I change it back? I can't find anything in preferences or the iTunes help manual. Thank you for the help

*Thank you Apple* for bringing the *Dark Grid View Background* back!
I'm all for change if it improves things. But I'm not sure the latest iTunes look change is all for the better.
The dark Grid View background was just one thing.
The new iTunes store look doesn't do it for me either. It's just a sea of icons on white background. Everything drowns in a blur of color specks...

ITunes background color change

Just after I installed the latest update for iTunes, the next time I opened it, the background color is this funky lavender/pinkish color. If I shrink the window the visible portion of the window returns white until I scroll the page. Then when the non visible portion appears, its that same weird color. Also, the major headings on the left side of the playerhave changed appearance as well, almost as if they are superscripted font. Anybody else have this problem and a possible solution?
Thanks

Thanks! Seems to have worked out fine. What I don't understand though is why did it suddenly change colors? It was fine until I downloaded and installed the latest update to iTunes. The bit change seems to have fixed, thanks again.

Itunes background color

No matter what I do, I cannot change the itunes background color from black, and I just hate it. Yes, I've changed the "grid" view to light, and to dark, and nothing changes on my iMac. Can this be changed somehow? I find it unreadable and it causes me headaches. Is there no way to change this?????

ITunes 9 background color

Hey... i recall iTunes 8 having a dark grey / black background... which was very pleasing to the eye.
now iTunes 9 is all white, and it's straining let alone very 'boring'...
why the change? the contrast was so much more easy on the eyes.
Is there a way to change it back?
APPLE, please give us the option to change background colors like IPHOTO!!

I love the brilliant white background on Itunes 9. It really lights up my 1000sq. ft. living room. Of course, I also love frying my retinas by staring into the sun for 15 minutes at a time. To the Apple developer(s) who thought this was a good idea, please pass whatever it is your smoking. Also a bad call to remove the slider to adjust the icon size in grid view. Yes, there are hacks and even a 175MB program out there you can use to get the gray background back. But with all the money I've spent on apps, songs, and movies that reside in my library, I'm not comfortable having to hack iTunes to get back some things that should have never been removed to begin with. Come on Apple, please get a developer to respond to this thread (and while your here, tell me why a dam iPod Nano can now do video, but you guys couldn't offer us iPhone 3G users a software update to do video! oops, wrong forum. My bad).

I can't use the iTunes store because the font and the background are both black. The change took place during a recent upgrade.

Can you change background color in new itunes

can you change the background color in the new itunes

It's a big no. It has less customizable views options than the previous versions. In my opinion, it's a change for the worst.

Changing Background Color in Album View?

Can I change the background color of my album view in iTunes? The bright background irritates my eyes after a while. A black background with white text would be preferable. Can anyone help?

If you search for "osx change finder window color" you will find a method (mentioned in the linked topic but not detailed) for doing this in Panther, but it may not work in Tiger. It also requires some pretty basic surgery on the OS files which is inadvisable unless you really don't care if you hose your system. Then there's Shapeshifter mentioned in the link. Again, these kind of things are trying to play with the OS at a basic level and are generally ill advised unless you really don't mind experimenting with your computer and don't care if you have to reinstall all your OS and files at some stage. They can cause unpredictable behavior with upgrades and I would not use them without regular backups.

Background Color When Displaying Playlists

How cna I change the text and background colours in iTunes?

Can anyone tell me how I can change the text and background colours in iTunes? I am a visually impared user and my main requirement on a PC is to change the colour schemem to white text on a black background. Most software adopts the settings of your colour scheme but iTunes goes it's own and has everything on white backgrounds. I cannot read from white backgrounds (dazzle - that sort of thing). I have never used iTunes for this reason. I have always been a devotee of by far the best media player out there Musicmatch Jukebox, who allow you to edit skins in every detail. However, recently Musicmatch was taken over and users were forced to migrate to the ridiculously poor Yahoo Music Jukebox. A massive downgrade in so many ways.
I want to use iTunes but will not be able to if I cannot sort this issue out. I downloaded 7.5 before discovering that if you want to use Multi Plugin for skins you need to go back to iTunes 7.02. I've done that, but the skins available are completely pointless to my eyes. They don't change the colours of the main components, just the graphical bit at the top.
What I need to do is change the background of the main browser windows so that they are black and the text is white (you know the track lists and tree views, etc). This must be a very simple case of just changing the codes somewhere, but I can't find where. I read somewhere that you need to hack into something call ResourceDB inside a file called iTunes.jar. There is no such file on my PC. Could that be a Mac thing?
Please help someone if you can. I would like to become an iTunes user. There seems to be more music available than on Napster which I currently use.
Thanks in advance

In my opinion, it seems that Apple has decided to sacrifice usability so that iTunes would look more like a Mac application. You are probably already aware that using Windows' built-in high-contrast settings do not work in iTunes.
I did some hacking at the resource file a while back, but I was unable to figure out how to change the color of the background. IIRC there was a resource whose description indicated it would change the background color, but when I changed the resource, nothing happened.
I was, however, able to figure out how to make the "large" font much larger (any size you want, I suppose). Will that help? See
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/ituneshacks/index.html
You should provide feedback to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
I don't think it is too harsh to call it "shameful" that Apple has chosen this design path. Where I work, we are required to make ALL applications (or any computer interface, such as a website) section 508 compliant. Of course, I'm being a bit of a hypocrite, because I've made no effort to make my website compliant. If you have trouble reading it, please let me know.

Background Color Shift?

I'm noticing a color shift in the background color after the most recent maintenance. Banner image now squared off & not blending. Need to investigate further ...
Anyone else? I seem to recall this happening once before ... sorry no hard evidence.

Hi
If you are using snow leopard (sorry my old macbook is os 9), then do not change anything if you are designing for the web only, as the pc (94% of internet user), used the same gamma setting (if you are doing graphic design, then all I can say is beware, and this is why I still have my old macbook). Many people are at present having this problem with the new mac os, as the system is set to one setting, but the color profile is set to another.
This article may be worth reading with regards to the problem - http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2009/09/why_your_web_content_will_look_darker.html.
