2024-11-25 - Alternative For Dark Mode iTunes on Windows 11

    There seems to be no way that works on Windows to make iTunes appear in dark mode like everything else. However, Windows 11 at least does have a feature which seems to overwrite everything, and I mean everything unless specifically set otherwise like with the background image, and this will change the contrast settings of every single open Window and everything but perhaps your desktop icons. It even affects the Taskbar to some degree, like turning some icons white like the settings gear icon or the notepad icon--yes I have notepad pinned to my taskbar. And it does seem to simplify the view in a lot of open windows like Chrome or Explorer. I am not necessarily all about the simplified sparse look. If this was a Tesla or something, fine, but I appreciate things like discernable borders between sections of a window like side-panels so you know where a button is and it's easy to find without having to hunt it down like a police detective looking for a murderer. 

    I changed the contrast settings of almost everything by going into settings and searching display--it would probably just be easier to search straight out "choose a contrast theme", but it is located in settings > Accessibility > Contrast Themes, if in case you just needed to know. This will change iTunes as well as everything else into whatever theme you choose, so when you're in a dark room and everything on screen is dark, your retina is adjusted to the brightness and you happen to open iTunes, your whole room doesn't light up like your screen went supernova and outshined the whole galaxy and there's a void in your vision right where you focus. 

    I am not sure if I will stick with this. I think I will try it for a while and see how it grows on me. And if you ever want to go back, you just go to the dropdown menu that picks between desert, aquatic, night sky and dusk, and instead of selecting those, pick none and hit apply. 

    I already turned this off because certain features I rely on were not working. The features I would have to part with were starting to get too much, and decided that going blind on iTunes white skin was a tradeoff I was willing to make in order to keep those features I would have to give up.
