|
|
|
|

|
|
- artist and name of the current song playing
|
|
|
|
## Controls
|
|
|
|
- left click - play/pause
|
|
- scroll up - play next song
|
|
- scroll down - play previous song
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Note that widget uses the Arc icon theme, so it should be [installed](https://github.com/horst3180/arc-icon-theme#installation) first under **/usr/share/icons/Arc/** folder.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Install [sp](https://gist.github.com/streetturtle/fa6258f3ff7b17747ee3) - CLI client for [Spotify for Linux](https://www.spotify.com/ca-en/download/linux/):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo git clone https://gist.github.com/fa6258f3ff7b17747ee3.git ~/dev/
|
|
$ sudo ln -s ~/dev/sp /usr/local/bin/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Check if it works by running `sp help`.
|
|
|
|
1. Get an 'id' and 'secret' from [developer.spotify.com](https://beta.developer.spotify.com/documentation/general/guides/app-settings/) and paste it in the header of the `sp` (`SP_ID` and `SP_SECRET`) - this enables search feature.
