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 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.

Edit Band.css file to change datasheet view background color causes adverse effects

Hi. I'm using SharePoint 2007 still and we are using the blueglassband.master theme. With this theme the background color of the site is a dark blue but this causes datasheet view grids to be extremely dark.
I have found fixes to edit the .body tag and set it to FFFFFF and then add a form#aspnetForm element and set the dark blue background there, and this has worked successfully...
Or so I thought. It turns out this has caused a weird issue in other pages in SharePoint where-by half the page is dark blue as expected, but then it changes to white.
Even more bizarre, it seems the "half way" mark where the color changes is dependent on the initial size of the IE window when the page gets first rendered. That is, the blue to white change occurs at the point in the page that touches the
bottom of the IE window. Bigger IE window = change happens later.
Any ideas on this one?

Hi,
For this issue, I'm trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at it.
Thanks,

Why does iTunes grid view not remember default sort settings?

Hello,
I am using iTunes 8.1 and I like to use the Grid view (Artists). Using the Grid view and clicking on an artist to look at the albums, I like to sort the albums within using "Album by Year".
Once I have made this change, it sticks until I close iTunes, so I can go into any other artist from Grid view and the albums will be listed using "Album by Year" automatically.
When I restart iTunes and click on an artist in grid view, iTunes has reverted to sorting via the first column, the one with track numbers. I then have to manually click "Album by Year" to get it sorted again.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if there is a solution to it? This also happened in iTunes before I upgraded to 8.1.
Thanks

Unfortunately, I can't offer any solution because I'm experiencing the same kind of trouble. Please help us! It would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Full screen view background color Pages 5.5.1

Is there a way to change the background color in Full Screen View back to black in Pages 5.5.1? I do not prefer the new default grey and would like to change it. I found a similar question in the forum for an earlier version of pages the pointed to a background color option in the format bar, but I cannot seem to find this option in the newer version. Tha

Beginning with Pages v5 in October 2013, and subsequent releases, there is no configurable means for a black background.

ITunes Grid View

I have recently updated to iTunes 8 (normal update through OS X) and am using the Grid view layout.
I have noticed that when it is in grid view and you hover over album art and press the "Play Album" button that it starts from where you finished from last time (e.g. half way through a song/album) and not the beginning of the whole album.
I have looked through preferences but have not found a way to turn this off, is there one and I have just missed it?

I haven't tried it but there is an Options tab in in Get Info window. One of the options is "Remember Position" for an album or "Remember Playback Position" for a single cut. Perhaps this is set and you can uncheck it?

Any way I can change the Grid view background back to black...

I really dislike the white/greyish color....

100% in agreement here: a b/w slider as in iPhoto would be the best option. It's much more jarring to scroll through my albums now, whereas it was a pleasure before.
And am I crazy, or did there used to be a slider to choose the album cover art size as well? How on earth could removing that slider be a good thing?

All episodes don't show up in Grid view

I've got 20 seasons of Top Gear all converted and waiting to be added to iTunes. They exist on my external HD, so when I drag them in to iTunes I hold in Alt/Option, so they stay there.
If I drag in the folders for seasons 1 through 13, all episodes show up, and if I select the show in iTunes I see "tabs/buttons" for Season 1, Season 2, etc etc. Pic here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2213114/2013-08-23_18-05-00.jpg
However if I drag season 1 through 14 (or more), only season 1 shows up in iTunes grid view. However all episodes/season show up in List view, and all are available on my Apple TV.
If I drag just, say, season 14 through 20, they add fine. But if I then add 1 through 13, again only 1 season shows in Grid view.
In all cases the correct number of "New" episodes shows on the blue banner on the cover (i.e "99+").
Top Gear generally has about 6 to 10 episodes per season.
I have exactly the same problem with The Simpsons.
All my other shows added fine. Just The Simpsons and Top Gear had issues. I doubt it's a co-incidence those are the only 2 shows I have with hundreds of episodes and 20+ seasons each. It's almost as if iTunes has some kind of limit…

Your website has a link to a feed at
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/CrossCultureCalvaryChapelPodcast?format=xml
This feed contains the itunes:new-feed-url tag, forwarding to a feed at
http://calvarychapel.nl/index.php?option=comsermonspeaker&task=podcast&feed=RSS2.0&nohtml=1
This latter feed is what is being used when you click on the 'subscribe' button in the iTunes Store, and the result matches the feed. (The list you have under 'Podcasts' in your own iTunes application probably includes earlier episodes: removing them from the feed doesn't remove them once downloaded, but the removed episodes don't show for new subscribers).
However, the iTunes Store page lists 114 episodes, the last being 28-3-09, thus not showing later additions, and shows earlier episodes present in neither feed. Therefore the page has the correct feed link for subscribers but itself has not updated since March - since when you have changed the URL and deleted earlier episodes. Why this should be I can't say: there is usually a delay before changes show, but only a day or two. It's peculiar that it should have failed to update the Store page but has the correct link on the 'Subscribe' button, and I can only suggest you try contacting Support:

Change grid results background in ssms 2014?

can you change the background color in ssms 2014? every time I try in enviro font and color>grid results it only changes the font color and not the background color.

yes im changing the item backgroun property and it stays white no matter what color I pick. I also restart ssms.
This is a bug which was never fixed. It was reported for SQL 2005 and also SQL 2012.
I think issue persists in SQL 2014 also.

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 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?????

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 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).
