Wish we were given a choice I hate the white it's way to harsh so I left feedback asking nicely for my dark background back please do the same if you feel as I do,and lets hope some one's looking 🙂
iMac,
Mac OS X (10.6),
Mac Book Pro, 32GB 3GS , iPods , Apple TV and Airport Extreme
Interesting...Seems like with all the complaints, They changed it back to the blue again. Not sure whats happening with itunes store though, that still has a black background.
I completely agree. The white background is no good and apple should let you change it to whatever shade you want. They deleted my post about this yesterday so I don't know if anything is going to happen, but it's worth a shot.
I agree. I hate the white background. There are several really weird and irritating things going on in iTunes 9. Apple slipped a bit with this release. Maybe Steve Jobs not being around really does have a negative affect everything
_Store page design (in iTunes)_
Black stripe on white backgound in Store. Oh, my eyes. They could at least look at the top of this website and see dark grey. That would be at least consistent.
_Grid view_
White backgriund ?! Make it at least light grey. Radical white hurt our eyes!
_Column headers and headers in Grid view_
again. make it consistent with overall scheme - make it grey like in iTunes 8.
The Black background was so much better. This white just seems to wash out any album artwork or movie covers I have. Please, Apple, change it back...or at least give us the option.
I love Apple, iTunes, etc. but they are aggravating me with all their buggy updates these days.
Why on earth do they (iTunes team) think people need change in design ?! People want STABILITY and SPEED. This is way more important than new colors (which are done very bad by the way).
Just add Genius mixes and iPhone Applications edit to iTunes 8. That's all and go in the direction to make iTunes faster - that's the right way. But they decided to go just the opposite.
They changed the icons on the side a bit. Not too bad, they look good. They made the menu bar a little shinier. Not bad, but a little odd since it doesn't match any of the other iLife programs, or the finder, or the look of anything else in Apples interface.
*I love all things apple. But really a white background without anyway to change it?* Just to make iTunes 9 look different from 8? They should take a page from their own play book. Snow Leopard minor visual changes, major changes under the hood. *It doesn't have to look different to tell us that it is different.*
iTunes and iPhoto had a similar appearance. I like the way they went together. Like a good belt and shoes. 🙂 *But why couldn't they or why doesn't apple give us an Appearance option in preferences like they do in iPhoto?* I can have a black background or a white background or anything in between. I mean they have the code already written for iPhoto, just cut and paste. (ok I know it's not that simple, but I know they can do it.)
The white grid background is indeed rather hideous. I just updated to 9 and was shocked to notice it. And even more shocked to notice there's no way to change it.
Sure you get used to just about anything but I hope they at least add an option to change it to the dark grey should one desire so.
I hate the new design!!... macosx had finally managed to have a
similar design between the applications (Finder, Safari, Mail, Itunes, etc). now... the glossy glass???
all the degradee? ***?? Back to Tiger times??
And off course, the apple guys do not have a place to send complaints concerning products. And never say it WHY!!
