Grid view white background - ugh!

Just upgraded (?) to iTunes 9 - apart from hating the new vertical column browser (which I've worked out how to put back to the original "on top" style) - the grid view now has this disgusting white background! What was wrong with the old black one? Does anyone know if there is a way to change the background colour, like you would, say, in Finder or iPhoto>

*Found the fix!*
Go here to this kind soul from Deviant Art who has the hack files to return the background to dark charcoal black again!

Grid view black background

Hi All,
Anyone found the Grid View Dark/Light switch?
I think iTunes 11 is just a leap backwards instead of forward...
No Cover Flow, a lot less tweaking to suit it to your needs...
I did not upgrade my Macbook and I will not for now; just my MacPro and I'm dissapointed...
cheers

I've been wondering this myself. The new iTunes is almost impossible to use in dark mode, since they didn't add the UI to support it. There used to be a Terminal coding solution but I can't find it anywhere anymore.

Any way to get rid of the awful white background in grid view?

The old dark background was infinitely easier on the eyes, and more attractive. When I look at stuff in grid view now it gives me a headache. Any chance of changing this back via terminal or something?

I would also like to know how to get rid of ugly *** white background. It ****** me off every time I have to look at it. There is nothing that I see here as being an improvement over the last itunes.

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,

How do I change background shade of grid-view in iTunes 11?

I've just downloaded and installed iTunes 11 and can't seem to find a way to alter the background colour of grid view. It's bright white or bright white! No options to tone it down to grey or black. Help!

Looks like they removed that option
I was a little worried they would actually, I have no idea why they sometimes remove cool features on updates.
Keep your eye out, someone will probably find a way to hack it back to grey.

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...
tell Apple via iTunes feedback

Blank white background (no underlying grid) so i can remove grey lines

i am sure this has come up before but i wasn't sure how to search for an answer.
when i leave my spreadsheet alone for awhile it seems like the spreadsheet will show with a blank white background - no grey lines showing the underlying grid - and this view has let me see that there are some cells where i /accidentally/ have thin grey lines where they shouldn't be (it should just be blank). the problem is that if i click in the spreadsheet it automatically shows the grey /underlying/ grid and then i cannot see the thin lines.
is there a way to get rid of the underlying grid temporarily so that i can get rid of these?
i looked in the View pulldown and i don't think i saw anything appropriate.
thank you

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
*Deselect: [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Black text on white background has horrible glow after export & viewed on TV.

I'm wondering how to correct a glow that develops around black text after exporting. Black text is on white background of course.
Export settings:
H.264
HDTV 1080p 24 HQ
I've checked of 'use max. render quality' as well as 'render at max. depth'
If someone could help, that would be greatly appreciated!

If you want to try the contrast change.
In Titler ..make the White Fill less than full white. ( Color Picker Fill) 235 to 245 should be fine.
I would not mess with the Black and you should not need to Key line anything with Grey.
But maybe you did not make this text in Titler.
If not..you need to make the changes in original application. eg PhotoShop.
What TV is involved in viewing this?
How does the Text look in the PPRO Monitors?

Thanks in Advanced

The only files you should need are the Dock application as well as the Dock's preferences. These should be in your Library folder. Before replacing the dock application, try removing the "com.apple.Dock.plist" file from your library's preferences folder. Then restart the dock (logout and log back in) and hope that clears everything. If not, and it's some aspect of the program that's been messed up, then replacing it directly should fix the problem. Do you have a TM backup? You should be able to get it from there with no problem, but if not then getting it from another Mac could also work.

Dark background in grid view

Did the dark background in grid view go away with iTunes 11?

Yes, unfortionatly. You can submit feedback to Apple letting them know that you miss this feature here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. How to revert it?

I'm having trouble with something in firefox, it's quite minor but still bugs me. Last night suddenly when I right-click-view-images in firefox, they appear centered and against a black background. It's usually meant to be a white background and the image appearing at top left. I can't remember what I did to change this if it's my fault; if someone knows how to revert it I'd be thankful.

cor-el : thanks for the pointers! I wish the solution isn't an add-on every time ... if such long-standing behaviour is going to change, the least that could be done is put in an about:config option to get back the old behaviour.

White background on iPod classic Cover Flow view

The white background looks a bit pony. Is there any way to change it to black, like the iTunes Cover Flow view?

Many thanks!

Viewer shows white background instead of free-frame of clip - What happened

Did I accidentally change a setting somewhere? Whenever I pause a clip in the viewer the free-frame turns into a white background so it becomes near impossible to edit. How do you fix this?

Dark bars around songs in Grid View with Dark Background

Hi, with the new update that added the option for the dark background in Grid View does anyone else notice dark bars around each song?

sidssp:
If you were able to get this new option in preferences to show up by removing your com.apple.iTunes.plist from ~/Library/Preferences, and you still have a copy of that file (maybe in your Time Machine backup on on your desktop), please email it to me <[email protected]>. Please include a link to this thread in your email and make the subject line be "Preference not showing up in 9.0.2".
Thanks,
Roy

ITunes 9 Grid View dissapointment

First of all white background of grid view is awful, it looks cheap!
Dark background in 8.x versions looked much more elegant.
We can not adjust the size of icons anymore...
Dissapointment....

*Found the fix!* (Be sure though to still contact Apple about your displeasure.)
