Description

Rainmeter skin that can switch between showing info on what's playing on Spotify and any other NowPlaying supported player. (iTunes, Winamp, Foobar, etc.)

FEATURES

To show Spotify info click on the Spotify Logo, and the same for your other Player.
Hover over the album art to show play/pause skip and back buttons for selected player
Clicking on the track info will open the application that is currently being displayed.
Clicking on the date will show/hide the spectrum analyzer
Clicking on the time will show/hide the background panel
Clicking on the time will cycle through duration/time left/current time
Clicking on the weather icon will hide it
Clicking on the weather text will show the weather icon

Please read the notes in the skin file, there are many options that can be changed and I've included as much information for solving problems and customizing the skin as I can.  

PLEASE CONTACT ME ABOUT ANY ISSUES YOU MAY HAVE


THANKS

Huge thank you to .raptor for the SpotifyPlugin.dll that made this skin work.
The .dll is packaged in the .rmskin but if you're having trouble here's the original: SpotifyPlugin

Credit to MerlinTheRed for the weather icons.

This skin was inspired by the clock in vNext created by lysy1993lbn and matches well with that suite.


CHANGELOG

NEW IN VERSION 3.2 (July 9 2015)
-Fixed a bug where certain weather icons didn't show

-Added Shuffle and Repeat buttons for player (they don't work with Spotify so they're hidden)

-Moved the date a little to the left to accommodate the longest date (Wednesday, 30 September 2020)
-Changed the way to open players (now click on track info)
-Changed the default reactions of the spectrum visualizer, it's a little bit more sensitive now
New in Version 3.1 (July 5 2015)
-Added weather under the date

New in Version 3.0 (June 16 2015)
-Back to single skin layout

New in Version 2.0 (January 17 2014)

-Simply load both skins and line them up with the album art and toggle between Spotify and iTunes to make sure it works.
-Spotify album art now works 99%, when you load the skin you will have to exit and restart Rainmeter but it does work.
New in version 1.3.2 (August 23 2013)
-The Spotify meter now grabs time from last.fm, it's not always right but it's better than 0.00 all the time

TO DO and ISSUES

I tried refreshing it, even spotify and the album artwork still doesn't show.
