iTunes has recently gone under a major update with the release of the 9.0 (and 9.0.1) which introduced several new features: a new store, new social networks integration, iTunes LPs and much more.
From a UI standpoint, the most discussed change is without doubt the new white background of the Applications and Music folders.
Now, I want to show you how to get back the much loved black grid.
First, backup iTunes: it’s always a good pratice when modding applications. To do this, you can either copy the whole app to a folder or simply copy the application’s Resources. You choose.
Then, head over this website http://chaodam.frenchlabs.net/category/themes/ and download the Dark Grid Mod. As the author says, there are 4 mod styles available, all of them compatible with Leopard and Snow Leopard. For instance, I chose iTunes 9 with Grey LCD.
The Installation
Now, all you have to do is fire up the package installer and run it, then choose the style you’d like. (be sure to quit iTunes before!)
Click Continue and confirm your installation.
In just one minute the package will be installed. Now, open iTunes and enjoy your old / new dark grid.
