New iTunes bumps up the font size and adds Genre images to Genre column view. I make custom Genres for sorting and don't need the visual hinting. Anyone know how/if I can disable this? I'm not able to find anything.

Otherwise I guess I'll just be using the Song view. I really liked the three column Genre sort up until now. :(

Boring Genre Art

You can remove the genre-*.jpg files in the application bundle. iTunes will use the cover art of tracks for the genres though.

It also breaks the code signature and could be overridden by updates.

I'm not all that fond of the generic Apple or empty icons and I'd prefer to save space but I appreciate the step in the right direction. Thanks. – syncr Dec 2 '12 at 23:47

yeah I just got off the phone with apple about this same issue- that feature is gone. YOu can't choose one of your albums as the cover art anymore. They suggested I use the software iTunes Genre Art Manager to set new artwork. :( Now I'm looking online for Genre icons - any ideas??
