I'm pretty sure I was not the only one who appreciated the vertical traffic lights. Now that they are gone, I wonder if there is a way to put them back, as it was possible to switch to horizontal in 10.3. Unfortunately the Secrets preference pane doesn't show the option (I imagine it hasn't been updated), searching google doesn't help and I don't know how to look for this by hand.

Does anyone know how to change it? It would be very appreciated :)

This is what I used and still works at this very moment as they are not changed to the new behaviour when I look at it. BTW google and "itunes change from vertical" without the "" gives that as the first hit.

Ha! I agree. It just looked so nicely symmetrical... :)

Doesn't seem to work for me. The traffic lights remain in their horizontal orientation. You do realize that iTunes 10.4 has the traffic lights set up horizontally by default now, right?

No I did not, amazing an Apple change they actually listened to the customers to reverse the world is coming to an end for sure..
