Doesn’t work properly with iTunes 10.6 as volume slider appears broken. It does give the colors though. Fix please!

I am running OS X Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10.5.1b25, i was able to see the color changes but when i try to go to Preferences, iTunes crashes…

Is anyone having this problem?

Thanks!

Excellent job! This and the colour finder icons have made my mac happier! Now just to find the same sort of thing for iPhoto and Mail – both are still dull and grey! Will be enjoying colour in itunes and finder until my other apps may be colourised to match

Found this looking for Lion tips for a friend who’s upgraded. I’m glad to have the color back in iTunes on my Snow Leopard machine. Thanks!

Jeremy,

I experienced the same issues. Try the macthemes link posted above or google iTunes_scottperezfox.rsrc.zip . Thats the one I used and it seems to be working fine for me. I am also using the current developer beta of iTunes if it matters.

The trick worked for me in iTunes 10.4.1 in Lion however it just messes up the interface. The icons look like they are too big and have been cropped, and the interface in the window header (buttons, volume control etc) are messed up.

[...] you can change the sidebar icons to color in Mac OS X Lion too. Update: Apparently we covered a similar tip for iTunes 10 under OS X 10.6 a while back too. stLight.options({ [...]

Get ready to do this for 10.7 Lion aswell. Same dull and greyish colors look there. Finder is greyish and no more color icons. Are they insane at Apple now?
Grey icons ARE NOT better then colored ones. GET IT, APPLE?

Does anyone know how to get the Command-R keyboard shortcut back? I can’t figure why would Apple change a keyboard shortcut to show the original file that’s common across Apple programs to something non standard. Argh.

Yep that did it, thanks! Running 10.5.8 and iTunes 10.0.1
For others the Source Text param is in Preferences of iTunes.

This does work just fine I have done it everytime iTunes updates..for me I cut the existing rsrc file and move it to a folder and name the folder and date it then I move the new rsrc file into the Resource library folder … You do have to authenticate to be able to move or replace this file…close the folder and restart iTunes and viola it works!

Ace, thanks so much for that link! Not only did I get my sidebar colors back, but I got to keep the Album Art viewer button, AND my devices in the sidebar are now color as well! BRAVO!

I can confirm that the artwork viewer button disappears. It’s a bug in the file that places the button inline with the track title. I actually downloaded and tried a different hack file from here http://macthemes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16805795 (the color sidebar only option) and it works great. colored sidebar icons and the artwork viewer button is back.
