iTunes 11 has black background with black text

I think the background just matches the album cover art that you happen to have selected at the time. unselect an album on mine and the background goes ti white, which I personally do not care for, I rather have my old dark gray background, yet I have no clue if I can even change it back to that.

see this thread!

The problem isn't in iTunes. It's in your iTunes Preferences file - since you changed a setting and there's no way to change it back, the only thing you can do is delete the preferences file. iTunes will create a new one, but you'll gave to go through all the settings to put things back the way you like (minus the black background of course). It's no big deal, you won't lose anything important.

First, quit iTunes

Go to the Finder.

Hold down the option key, and click the "Go" menu and choose "Library" (you may not see Library if you don't hold down the "option" key).

Find the "Preferences" folder.

Inside the "preferences" folder, look for the file called "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and drag it to the trash.

Open up iTunes. It should look better at this point. Finally just go to the iTunes "preferences" menu and reset anything that changed back to the way you like it.

And there's another quicker solution here

It actually does change the setting, without needing to delete the preferences file.

I have no merit... Darko Ibrahimpasic1 is the one to thanks!

(Sorry RadicalxEdward, I misunderstood... I thought your sollution was to give more contrast to iTunes, which is a kind of pale to me. I was so desparate to look for a way to change this because I can hardly stand the current looks, almost hurting my eyes when looking at it. I am not allowed to completely delete this post, so therefore a little explanation.)

Very Big thank you All of you for your help !!! It's been an hour that I didn't know what to do to see which songs to chooses because of the grey typo on black background !!! Merci

En français : si vous visualisez les chansons d'itunes 11 en gris sur fond noir ou en noir sur fond noir et que itunes 11 est illisible donc, il faut simplement aller dans le terminal et coller cette ligne, cela réinitialisera les paramètres de contrastes d'itunes :

defaults write com.apple.iTunes high-contrast-mode-enable -bool FALSE

Enfin sauvée après une heure de galère à chercher partout comment changer la skin de itunes 11 alors que c'était en fait un bug d'affichage !!!

OMG. After reading about 20 idiot threads with no useful information, e.g., it's the computer settings, not your itunes, finally something that works. One million likes!!!

This did the Trick !!!!! defaults write com.apple.iTunes high-contrast-mode-enable -bool FALSE. Thanks A Billion. Best regards, M. Svika 🙂
