Spotify for conky

With some small scripts you can extend your conky with information about the song currently playing on Spotify. I've done that for you. Enjoy!

Installation

Installation is quite easy because I've provided a install script for you. So just download this repository and run the install script:

git clone https://github.com/SiKreuz/conky-spotify.git && cd conky-spotify && ./install.sh

Here is a sample how you can use this in your own conky configuration file in the conky.text section (usually located at ~/.conkyrc):

# --- Show only when Spotify is running ---
${if_running spotify}
# --- Get cover image ---
${exec ~/.conky/conky-spotify/scripts/cover.sh}
# --- Show cover ---
# Edit the position (-p option) so it fits.
${image ~/.conky/conky-spotify/last_cover.png -p 0,0 -s 112x112 -n}
# --- Show song information ---
