Spotify Popup - show currently playing artist and song on your desktop
Introducing Spotify Popup, version 0.2
One thing I was missing when listening music through Spotify is displaying artist and name of the song that is currently playing. Enter Spotify Popup. If you are using Winamp you know what I'm talking about.
Features:
- displays popup windows with cool in and out animation in lower right corner with artist and song name.
- uses alpha blending for window edges (looks crispy!)
- sits quietly in system tray (blue Spotify icon)
- uses pure WIN32 API (no .NET framework!). Not even MFC. Low on resources and memory consumption.
- if you missed the popup, clicking its tray icon will show it again
- no installation, just unpack download zip file and run the app. That's it.
- did I mention the animations. You really need to see it to believe it.
Limitations:
- artist name or song will be truncated if they are longer then popup width. It rarely happens, but it may be something I will work on in the future
- no customization, which means font, color and length of showing the popup are not changeable. I like to keep the looks similar to Spotify client.
