iTunes 10 - where's the color?

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?

MacBook Pro 2.8GHz (Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I agree completely. The new interface is ugly. Come on Apple, the aluminum look is fun when it's the outside of my MBP, but my screen does 32million colors and I'd like to use a few of them, thanks. Any way we can get the color back?

(Yes, it's nit pick, but lets face the facts. Part of the reason I bought my Mac is because it's beautiful. And I use iTunes a lot, so...)

I also agree, but it's worse than that. Some of my clients are older persons, and when they see that they will think all those items are *greyed out* . This is functionally wrong, as well as way ugly.

But what's worse is that Apple has done this the last few releases of iTunes... removed functionality with NO WAY to bring it back. Unless you know some command line unix hacks to restore them. I've already seen a few of those popping up and iTunes 10 has only been out a few hours. Apple didn't use to behave like this.

Another downgrade by Apple.

iTunes 10 is completely devoid of life, color and interest. I want iTunes 9 back now. Come on Apple, show us the greatness you demand from yourselves.

I used it for at least 10 seconds before deciding I hated it more than having to run iTunes 9 on a PC.

At this point I would rather go back to using CD's and making mix tapes. At least there was some life and character in what we did.
