Sadly enough, i signed up just so say this:
The white is terrible.
I would **** around with all the files and use the mod to turn it back to black, but even then that top bar would still be white, which would just look dicky.
Another problem for me is that i would love to change back to 8, but i have pretty slow internet, and this is such a bother, I have my fingers crossed too tight that apple will wake up and give us the option to change it.

I don't have anything else to complain about the upgrade, but this issue alone is enough to **** me off.

I don't understand what you all are complaining about. 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! PLEASE! Just say no to drugs. You have too much to offer this world.

Apple would patent white itself if they could. Perhaps one more person can help convice them that few, if any, people like the new colours.

Just chiming in. I sent the feedback to tell Apple that I want black back and the new iTunes store looks like a tacky ad riddled website that makes me want to find an adblocker for my Tunes now.

Going downhill fast Apple, pull your head out!

Today's update gives the option of a dark grey background in grid view. It's better than the white IMO (easier) on the eyes but lacks the reflection and depth of the black we used to have.

OK I'm being thick, I've downloaded 9.0.2 but where is the option to switch to dark grey?

OK just found it under prefs ... couldn't see the wood for the trees!

soooooooo close to what we were actually asking for (slider etc.) but kudos to apple for actually listening to at lest part of what we said. thanks.

Having the option is really a plus, but why not go all the way and have a color picker and toggle for reflection? Then we would be talkin'!

Hahaha!! This is the problem, you give people what they want then it's not enough!! LOL!!

I was hoping they'd change the iTunes store back to gray/black as well, but I suppose you can't have it all. Would still like to see that happen but for now, this'll have to do!!! 😉

Why didn't they just give us a slider a-la iPhoto for consistency? The mind boggles...

I Just experienced this white background on my iPad update. It is hard on the eyes and looks quite harsh. What happened to a nice soft blue or gray?

This thread is a discussion of a version of iTunes that was released 4 years ago. It has nothing to do with iOS.
