Check this out. I only see these gray outlines in iTunes, no other applications. I'm using a brand new MBP with 10.5.2 and iTunes 7.6.1 (9).

I searched the forum but couldn't find an answer. 😕

Try reinstalling it (go to apple.com)

Tried already. Did nothing, thanks anyway.

Additionally, anyone know what that error could mean? I've been getting it the last week whenever I try to check for updates. Could Apple's server really be down for that long?

i get those grey lines in preferences but they seem a lot more fainter in mine than in your pictures. could be to do with the colour profile on my Cinema Display. i think thats just how iTunes is though.

Errors in color profile would NOT show up in screenshots. My display is fine, and I see the lines. They look like problem with a resource file or two.

Try repairing permissions, incase a preference or driver is slightly messed up. Beyond that I'd almost say deleting iTunes are reinstalling might help. Beyond that, I'd call AppleCare or find a Genius.

Probably an issue with iTunes itself.

Try getting rid of everything iTunes (aside from the tunes of course), including .plist files, etc and then reinstalling. Sometimes when you just drag the application to the trash, it doesn't always "uninstall" everything.

Any chance you installed any third party packages that allow you to modify the system appearance/theme or colors? It looks like the background window color doesn't match the background color for the labels in the dialog boxes. Normally, I don't think you should be able to change those kinds of things, so I don't know quite how you are getting that...

What about the Appearance System Preference - isn't there something in there for a choice of Aqua vs. Platinum? I wonder if that could be an issue...

I have this exact same problem. I have a SR 2.2 Macbook, 10.5.2 and iTunes 7.6.1 . This issue didn't appear later, it was there when I bought it new in January no add ons or mods or such. I've posted about this before, but no one else seemed to have this problem. I'm not alone! (unfortunately)
