Hi everyone,

I'm having a weird issue with Mac OS X 10.5.4. I have a calibrated color profile for my MacBook Pro's display, however when I change to it and go to an application such as iTunes and go to Preferences, the background color of the text labels are darker than the rest of the window. Any idea why this happens and if there's a fix for it (besides being stuck with the stock Color LCD profile)?

Picture?

I have the same issue, quite annoying.

I don't see a problem..

^look at the picture from a slight angle. you will see it.

I have the same problem using a custom profile too. Kind of annoying after awhile.

Still couldn't see it after that, so opened Photoshop and then finally saw it after adjusting the levels. Looks like a gamma problem--do you have it set to 2.2?

Any other applications other than iTunes?

i see it too, but only at my itunes-prefs...

maybe its a little itunes bug there...?
---giga beat me to it, however, my display should be calibrated accurately by a spyder...
i guess its an itunes bug.

3rd edit: so i played around a bit...

it only occurs to me at the general preferences pane on itunes. BUT when i switch the pane to say Sync or something and then go back, the problem is gone.

Seems like iTunes is the only one with the bug. Can't seem to reproduce it in other apps.

Seems to be an issue with applications that are still using Carbon, it shows up for me in most iTunes dialogs and in a few other applications as well... this doesn't happen with any profiles that use a gamma of 1.8. I guess I'll just have to go back to using the default Color LCD profile and file a bug report with Apple.

Don't use 1.8--totally wrong gamma for the web.

Finder doesn't reproduce this, still uses Carbon:
