Description
Spotify removed the important local API some time ago. This is why all skins broke.
For now we are using a different approach which - unfortunately - needs some tweaking. I hate dependencies but this is the way to go.
It gets harder and harder to keep this skin alive. But it is alive. It is 4 years old by now and still working flawlessly.
The following steps are MANDATORY for a working skin, unfortunately. Read all the instructions first, please!
0. Delete any old version of the old "Spicetify Rainmeter Skin" if you used this skin before.
1. Follow these instruction carefully (5 commands one after an other into PowerShell + Comprehensive Guide available): pastebin.com/87muQXZ2
1.1 If an error occurs at the beginning you need to enable Internet Explorer 11 within the Windows settings and start it once for a properly working PowerShell.
1.2 If an error occurs saying something about a backup, just delete "backup" from the last line "spicetify backup apply" --> "spicetify apply" and press ENTER again
1.3 If an error occurs at the end simply reinstall Spotify as suggested by the script.
2. Install Spotify Control Rainmeter skin.
3. Play a song in Spotify and benefit.
4. After every Spotify client update you need to re-do step #1 (entering all 5 PowerShell commands again)
Features
Custom Right-Click-Menu for resizing (Fully scalable due to vector graphics)
Playback commands for free and premium users with on- and offline Spotify
Completely hidden when Spotify is closed

Loving the skin, but quick question - how would I go about removing the text and music visualizer to where there's just the "control panel", if at all possible? I tried simply removing the code, but that worked to no avail. Thanks in advance!

Hm, you only want the control panel to be visible? Remove all [Meter] sections for artist/song and the 7 visualizer points and you should see the control panel only. Now set the Y= values of the remaining meters accordingly so they're centered and you're good to go! Try it! If not working write a comment and I'll upload a second skin just for you with nothing but the control panel!

Sorry for the late reply, kept meaning to do so and it slipped my mind for the past few days. My internet's been dying all day today, but I'll be sure to download that when I get the chance. Thanks a bunch, much appreciated!

Unfortunately, the box is an png image and therefore not just changeable code.Ā You could open the file with Gimp or Photoshop and change its color, though

Finally, a working Spotify skin. Every skin I tried in the past didn't work correctly (didn't show the song or the buttons didn't work or stuff like that). This one works perfectly. Thank you!

I know that nearly every other skin doesnt work properly.
If you dive into the code you'll see that I use the WindowMessage plugin to display the artist and the current song. The buttons are also based on a external plugin from poiru Have fun with it!
