Fun things to try in iTunes
Just a warning... these are some interesting mods I've run across... most don't have a lot of instructions... they assume basic resource editing practice and knowledge of the locations of iTunes.rsrc and Localized.rsrc in iTunes.
- Swap PBUT resources id 442 and 443 in iTunes.rsrc... like change their ID numbers so that iTunes loads what was 443 instead of what was 442... then set iTunes to use a large source text (in the Prefs).
- Copy PICT resource 350 from iTunes.rsrc into an image editor.. change the color... paste it back into a new PICT resource (ID 2350)... set computer theme to graphite, launch iTunes... yes, that's right folks, you can make up for Apple's laziness of providing graphite variants... the resource id used when in graphite mode is simply 2000 more than the original aqua resource. Simple. Works for most controls, but not for the window background and some other stuff.. (info window, etc.)
- Play with the Txtr resources Localized.rsrc... In particular, look at the Pascal string for the font name...(see this tutorial for info on editing Pascal strings, although they aren't called that there) ALSO, look at the 3 hexadecimal word (each word is 2 bytes) beginning at offset 08 in most of those resources (all that are 30 bytes long)... I do believe that it's a 16 bit hexadecimal color string... play with it. Now.(editing 16 bit Hexadecimal colors is described in some detail under a different context in this tutorial)
