Whenever I close out of spotify or restart my computer. my spicetify theme is not applied anymore. is there a fix for this?

khanhas commented 4 years ago

Are you using Windows Store Spotify?

AkumiAQ commented 4 years ago

Are you using Windows Store Spotify?

Yeah I am. Is that a part of the issue?

khanhas commented 4 years ago

I would highly recommend to uninstall Windows Store Spotify and install normal Spotify with installer from its website. But you still can make it work by making a Spicetify shortcut and let it run auto command:

%appdata%\spicetify-cli\spicetify.exe auto

If I download the non windows store version spotify should my theme still be applied after I close it out?

khanhas commented 4 years ago

It will because normal Spotify modification is written directly.

It doesn't on Windows Store version because Microsoft doesn't allow to modify app assets. So I have to redirect modded app assets to somewhere else and make Spotify to launch with it. Run spicetify auto to correctly launch spotify with redirected location.

Also, delete the config file before you apply Spicetify on normal Spotify.

rm $(spicetify -c)
spicetify
spicetify clear backup apply

Easy way of checking is uninstalling and reinstalling @koidex.

It didn't even work for me with the one on the website and I fixed it this way: 1.Uninstall Spotify from Windows as well as from the web. 2.Go to this link: https://spicetify.app/docs/getting-started/. 3.Open Power Shell as administrator and copy the first one and press enter, the same with the second one and wait for the process to finish. 4.Spotify will automatically open with Warketplace. 5.Point to the taskbar icon, left click and pin to taskbar.
