Bring stripes in list view mode please!

I don't know what happened! I lost the stripes (the alternated light blue line) in list view mode in Finder and in Mail and iTunes and every program that uses some sort of list view.
I tried to use this command
$ defaults write com.apple.finder FXListViewStripes -bool TRUE
$ killall Finder
but it didn't work... please help it's driving me nuts

Ok now the strangest things is that the stripes appear when i switch in dashboard, and they disappaear once the shadow of dashboard is gone. It's crazy, the stripes appear only if a shadow is over them. Even in a picture of a supposed striped list view, the light blue color doesn't appear until i use dashboard (I'm starting to think there's something wrong with the graphic card rather than finder)

  • Removing stripes from list view in Finder not possible?

    I was just informed by the makers of Cocktail that you can no longer disable those nasty stripes in list view. Can anyone else confirm this? And if so why is there still an entry to disable it in the finder .plist file?

    I agree 100%. Why would Apple insist in stuffing down our throat such an ugly background is beyond me.
    I "looked" around in the finder resources and there is this:
    /Volumes/Leone/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/English .lproj/ListView.nib
    it's a compiled .nib, so it's not easy to look at it. The funny things is that if you read it as an xml file and compare it with a view brand new list view that has a striped background it seems that the bit for stripes is turned OFF by default. So maybe the stripes are changed procedurally not as a resource and maybe there is a way to change it.
    I'm not good enough unfortunately to look in the Finder code to see if that is true

  • Expanding Folders in "list" view mode.

    How can I expand as well as close folders when viewing them in the "list" view mode, all in one stroke as opposed to having to expand each folder one at a time?

    Neither did I until XChip73 asked the question. I decided to see if the Mac OS X programmers had put that functionality into the Finder. A little experimentation found that they had.
    In any case you are quite welcome captfred. What are you captain of?

  • Still no way to remove stripes from list view finder windows?

    Is there really still no way to do get rid of these horrible stripes in list view finder windows? After all the complaints about them? Or has anyone found a way? (Or has apple granted one in one of the last updates?)

  • Sort/order contexts in universe List View Mode

    Is there a way to sort or order contexts in universe List View Mode?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    There is no way to order the contexts in universe list view mode.
    If you want to have a specific order I suggest that you prefix all contexts by a number such as "1 - context name1", "2 - context name2", etc.

  • Bring back calendar list view in iOS!!

    If you, like me, have just upgraded to the latest iOS 7.1, you will quickly notice that Apple has made another change to the calendar app by adding a hybrid view, which allows you to see the calendare and list view, but the list view is only for the current day selected!
    At least in the previous version, you could still see list view by selecting search, but now even this functionality is gone!
    For me, the list view is the most efficient way of seeing my appointments, calendar events etc, to get a good sense of what's going on.
    In my view, a calendar with dots on it has no value, you get minimal information on your appointments.
    An Apple fail!  Bring back list view!!
    In the meantime, are there any third party apps that display a list view calendar?
    I mainly use it for google calendar and tripit calendar.

    Carlo,
    It is still there, just different.
    When in the day view, touch the List View icon I have circled in the following image:

  • ITunes 11.0.1: Can't drag files into playlist unless it's in "List" view mode

    If I drag and drop audio files from Finder into a playlist in iTunes 11 (which I do in order to make sure meta tags are correct), they only appear in the playlist if i'm using "List" mode. Using "grid" or "artist list", the files get added to my iTunes library, but they don't appear in the playlist I dragged them into.
    What's up with this? Is it happening for other people?
    (This is iTunes 11.0.1 on OS X 10.8.2.)

    berrrnard,
    I get the same result as you. Best advice ..... always drag them to the List.
    I don't really follow this though.......... (which I do in order to make sure meta tags are correct).
    What do you mean ??

  • Disable list view stripes

    Anyone figure out how to disable the annoying list view stripes (alternating white and blue stripes in list view)? I don't want the Finder to look like a check book register!
    TinkerTool has been updated for 10.6, but the option is gone. My old AppleScript that I downloaded no longer works. Hopefully someone will figure that out.
    Apple...how about making that a user-preference? Not everyone likes that!

    I suspect no one has yet figured out where/what is controlling that. In Leopard it was a "hidden" preference, so a simple default write command to change the plist worked to turn it off. One of the first things I tried was issuing the command in the Terminal....and nothing happened. The idiotic behavior of the Help window could be changed in the same way in Leopard, and in Snow Leopard it fails as well. Checking the two relevant plists I see that the option for no stripes is indeed in the Finder preference, and the option for a normal window is in the helpviewer preference. So what has changed is that the programs simply do not use those preferences any more. They are no longer hidden preferences, they are non-existant preferences. So it may be that the easy way is simply gone.

  • How do you change the sort order of a Stack on the Dock in List view?

    I want to change the 'Date Added' sort in the list view mode of a stack from descending to ascending.
    I have the Downloads stack sorted by 'Date Added', however I would like to reverse the order of this sorting. When I open the stack, it shows the oldest files at the bottom and newest files at the top. Since there are many hundreds of files, the newest files are actually hidden and I must scroll up to access them. When I access this folder I want to see the most recent files first, at the bottom of the list nearest the stack icon, not the files I downloaded years ago.
    I prefer to use the traditional List view for Stacks because it is faster (no animations or loading preview icons) and easier to navigate visually. Please do not suggest a different view mode such as fan view or use-new-list-stack.

    Have you tried changing the list with the numbers? (See the screen shot)

  • Cannot see my music in list view

    As slick as the new iTunes is, i'd really like to be able to see my music as a list when I'm in playlist mode, rather than as a collection of album covers. As per the older iTunes versions. Can this be done? If not, I hope this can be implemented in a new iTunes update. Thank you.

    Of course your can. Go to the menu on the right of the white top bar:
    and choose "songs". This will bring up your list view. (sorry: screenshot is Dutch - Nummers = songs)

  • IPhone 4 iOS 4.1 - Calendar App List View Not Showing Events Immediately

    After upgrading to iOS 4.1, whenever I open the calendar in List view mode the events do not show up immediately. I have to navigate to the "Day" style or "Month" style before I can see any events. All the events are viewable normally in both the "Day" & "Month" style calendar but the "List" view.
    I regularly sync my iPhone with iCal events and with Google calendar. I did delete and re-added the Google account but the problem persists.
    Has anyone faced this problem? I will be doing a full restore again today. My wife's iPhone 3GS is working fine with the 4.1 build of 3GS.

    Hello all,
    I have the same issue with my iPhone 3G under iOs 4.1 (8B117) with one local calendar and three Google calendars. The first time the Calendar application is loaded, if it opens in "List" view, no events are displayed. Switching to another view is enough to get the items back. In "Day" and "Month" views, the events eventually appear after some time (~5 to 10 seconds).
    My boyfriend has the same problem on his iPhone 4 under iOS 4.1 (less annoying because of multi-tasking).
    Hopefully this will be fixed in iOS 4.2... :-S

  • No list view button in calendar month view with iOS 7.1

    There is no calendar list view button in the month view or any other view on my iPad Air after the iOS 7.1 update? Is this just an iPhone feature or did I Miss something?  

    The list view at the bottom of the screen is an iPhone feature. If you tap the magnifying glass in the calendar, that brings up a list view.

  • Wrong Dates and Sizes in List View in Finder (10.3.9)

    Hi,
    I'm in the Finder (Mac OS X 10.3.9) looking at a folder.
    The folder is in List View mode.
    Here's the problem:
    Files that I edited yesterday are continuing to show up as modified "Today."
    What's with that?
    The Finder window won't update. (And I modified those files 12 hours ago.)
    This has been going on for years.
    Sometimes clicking on each file will trigger an update of the info, sometimes not.
    Sometimes the dates are wrong, sometimes the sizes are wrong.
    Is there a cure for this Mac OS bug?

    However, can you tell us what diagnostic tests or repairs you have attempted? e.g. Repair Disk in DU, Saft Book, Disk Warrior etc.

  • Finder List View and White Border around photo image files (icon preview)

    Hey everyone, just curious if anyone knows how to remove the stripes from list view in the finder window? I tried a method that worked for Leopard but no luck with Snow. And for photos, the icon previews have real thick white borders around them, can these be removed (or at least inverted)? They are so distracting when looking through hundreds of images...
    Thanks,
    Jason

    I just found an app that will get rid of the white borders and preserve the original date in the photo's EXIF data. It is CocoThumbX and can be downloaded from http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocothumbx/.
