Hate the new iTunes logo?

So iTunes 10 is out, some nice new updates and all that.

But what's this?! Awful new blue colour logo?

Yuck!

So I decided to change it.

Open up Acorn (using the free version).

Go to 'filter' > 'color effect' > 'color monchrome'.
Select a grey colour in the colour select box.

Click 'apply'.

Much nicer.

Save as a .png.

Download FastIcns. Save as a .icns file
Move it inside the 'contents' > 'resources' folder of iTunes.

Be happy.

Hmmm, It's growing on me.....slowly.

I just think it looks a little tacky, quite garish.

The fade from light to dark blue is distracting, especially on such a small dock icon

I'm no design pro either, but it does seem like quite different a change for my liking. :eek:

I think it's terrible. Looks like something from the very early days of OSX.

Phew! I thought I was the only one

The vertical close/minimise/maximise annoys me more

Run

Code:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -1

In Terminal whilst iTunes is not running.

to restore to vertical:

Code:

defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -0
