I have spent so long looking for the perfect player and this is it. No players contain every feature that actually WORK like this one does. It's simple, beautiful, and functional. Amazing job and I thank you very much.

This is great, I've been able to customize mine A LOT!
Just one question though, can I change the speed of the text?
The actual speed is a bit too slow for my liking.
Keep up the great stuff man

Thank you for using it
Yes, you can change the speed of the text. Right click on it and click on 'Edit Skin'. Under the [Rainmeter] section of the opened .ini file, there's a Update = 1000 value. The 1000 denotes 1000ms or 1s. You can change its value and everything on the skin will update faster (even the progress bar!) but the downside is that it may use more RAM or CPU.

Hey again. Quick question.
Spotify recently got updated, and the display no longer appears. (artist and song name)
Is there any way to fix this, or are you going to update it in some kind of way?

Hello! I have the latest Rainmeter and this (old version of) Cleartext. Everything seems fine, except for the time and progress bar. I don't know about yours, but have you updated Rainmeter?
I'll try to release a newer Cleartext soon

Using the same, but unfortunately, does not seem to work.
I have messed with the skin before (taking out the time and progress bar, as they were not working, as well as putting the "Play" button under "Next"), but that did not affect the Artist and/or Song Title.
It'll be great if you could do that.
Thanks for your time.

Ah, I see.
To reiterate: you're using Spotify. I've re-downloaded the skin and checked it from a fresh point of view. Everything seems to be *not* working except for the Artist and Title. Maybe you have accidentally changed something? How about you re-install Cleartext?
I'm planning on updating Cleartext with support for .raptor's Spotify plugin which is now being used in CASCADEx and 360.

Well, that's weird.
I also re-downloaded the skin and it still does not work.
As a matter of fact, neither CASCADEx or 360 run the Now Playing, at least with Spotify.
I'm starting to think this is a problem with my computer/files.
Thanks for the attention anyway

Update: Here's the new version which should work!
Hey there! I'll just send you a note for the new Cleartext which I'm planning to work out and release over the weekend. I've started to recode everything yesterday and I have the fixes for the Spotify issue on it.
The new Spotify update really messed everything up. It's not your computer's fault

I admire your minimalistic style! It's a rare find, surprisingly. Thank you sir!

How can I increase the track name width, so that I can see the full title of the track that is playing? Or increase the speed at which the text moves?
Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
