How can I get all the colored icons back in iTunes? The new UI looks like it came from a 1940's film or something. It's awful. I want my colors back! How can I do that?
Itunes und Osx is general is looking reallu old a nd boring compared to the Windows 7 world. A shame, I rememeber the times when Osx beat the crap out of XP..
Agreed, iTunes 10 is a serious downgrade. Greyscale icons, Social Network, breaking remote DAAP server compatibility. How about the iTunes team focus on revamping the horrid iOS device management in iTunes and scrapping the idea of syncing iOS devices just like they scrapped it on the AppleTV? Reduce the bloat, rewrite with cocoa for 64-bit, and remove the sync paradigm for devices. iTunes certainly doesn't give Windows users a good impression of Apple software, the Mac version is only slightly better these days which isn't saying much.
Please add a preference so we can "choose" (think different) between iTunes 9's color scheme or this new color-less scheme.
I mean seriously... how can you call that decision a design improvement.
looks like a new design "director" got to pee on the gui color scheme and make us all suffer for his/her lack of aesthetic (IMHO).
If you want to be original let your customers express their own creativity by giving them the option to modify the look or even the style of itunes.
thanks god for time-machine! Tonight, I'm a time traveler!
Please but the color back in iTunes10 it looks like everything is greyed out and therefor 'not available'plus its ugly. If you don't want to make it standard at least give us an option to bring the color back!
Yea....Apple please add the color back to the icons. It looks like you guys were either in a hurry to release iTunes 10 and forgot or just plain lazy. Also the text when you right click to get info for songs looks all compact and fuzzy. Atleast on the Windows version. Are any Mac users seeing the new text? If so then Apple you need to revert the text back to the way it was in iTunes 9. It's hard to read it sometimes.
So far iTunes 9 and iTunes 10 have been disappointing. Apple keeps messing with the interface and it's turned into an ugly soul resting in my hard drive. I do like the new volume bar, but the colourless icons are HORRIBLE! Don't get me started on the bar at the top where it says stuff like "Name, Time, Artist" etc. It's really difficult to read. The new icon too looks very... cheap.
All I want out of iTunes is a music player, I don't want all the LP nonsense and "Ping" thing. Why can't I have a light and easy to look at music player? What's wrong with you Apple?!
I'm gonna Google a new player, I shall post if I find anything good.
stop whining... it looks great... and you bought a mac so that Steve Jobs could tell you the difference between right and wrong... you were just told that color is wrong... so change your wallpapers to black and white pictures and hop onto the iTunes 10 train!
The all-grey style is just horrible. iTunes seems to be a died program, with no color and no life.
And it's not pleasant for the eye, it's like an old composite NTFS on a PAL plug...
I wish that Apple will change that by adding choice of color/ B&W icons like they do for iTunes 9 by adding choice for black or white background.
Yes, the new iTunes interface is all kinds of horrible!
Here's my list so far:
New flat, non-glossy close/minimise/zoom buttons when iTunes is in mini-player mode.
In full-window mode, the close/minimise/zoom are now vertical instead of horizontal! ***? That must be a bug, surely.
The whole interface is grey, bland and lifeless.
The lack of colour and contrast makes the source-list difficult to read.
Hard dividing lines between almost every track in the library looks cluttered.
Dividers in the column headers in list view only go half-height making it difficult to delineate the different fields.
Mishmash of old checkboxes (in preferences) and the flat grey mini-almost-web2.0 checkboxes in the library.
The whole thing makes me feel like we've jumped back 18-20 years and we're using monochrome displays again - particularly when you look the preferences toolbar icons.
