Which totally sucks, because it limits creativity, and it makes it more difficult to differentiate between different icons. Also, the iTunes 9 icon is 512x512, while the iTunes 10 icon is 1024x1024. Their DPI are different as well. It probably isn't a big deal, as other Apple apps, such as Mail, still have 512x512 icons. P.S.: It would be nice to get all the iTunes 9 document icons as well...

How can they have that if they don't even have a cohesive UI between their own bundled apps? The difference is that OS X is supposed to be all about a cohesive, elegant user experience.

I'm so sick of the "everything 1981 Atari/Tron" is cool palette. Can't wait for this fad and the hipster drivel that "road it in" to our lives to go away. ;-) It’s not that some of us don’t like change; rather, the change we got was 80′s retro hipster BS design that sucks.

I hate the new I-tunes icon and I'm so glad to have my old one back! The new one looks like it belongs on a PC and it just isn't right with my Mac. I agree with the close, min/max buttons being vertical... go back to horizontal Apple! how do I lock it in, though? thank you so much!

Worked a treat, but iTunes now asks to OK incoming connections/change firewall settings. I previously had this message when using my phone as a remote; just unticked the Look for iPod touch/iPhone remotes. Now it's back. It's no biggie, just a wee bit annoying. Done.
