(Suggestion) Make it more customizable #44

If possible, would love if you could customize it to your own liking, like changing the font, or the animation, or the background to maybe the cover art instead of the default background.

I mostly consider this as an "as is" finished product done from how I see it - so there won't really be any room for user-customization in the future. This doesn't mean I won't further tweak things visually so they become perfect - and feedback is always preferred.

The only one I would highly consider is the animation but it depends on what "animation" means - are we talking about the syllable letter height-adjustment, scale increase, etc.?

I'm also highly reluctant on adding settings because there isn't a centralized way to do so in Spicetify and I don't like the idea of adding more settings clutter to an ecosystem that already heavily suffers from it for these type of extensions. I've seen some people hide the settings into a small button and it opens up in the side-panel; but I'll have to think about that solution.

I would also like to comment that adding an option to change the font size would be incredibly useful, since the size of the new lyrics are almost double the size of the regular Spotify ones.

@thegoldknight Sorry for the late response - I would argue that the text in the first screenshot are much more readable than the text in the bottom screenshot simply because of the size.

Of course - I am viewing this on a larger monitor so that has to be taken into account. Based off the resolution (and local aspect-ratio) in the images I assume this monitor is not incredibly large - or is running on a scaled resolution - probably a laptop screen or small monitor; of course, correct me if I'm wrong.

The lyrics shouldn't take up as much space there so this is more of an issue with the font-size being purely based on the width and not taking into account the height as well. I will fix this in a future update - I've received similar feedback - but the main thing to note is the resolution has always been the same in terms of the ratio (as in being similar to how your screenshots look). So I will update the lyric-sizing to be based off height/width and to smoothly transition between those two factors.

I don't think a toggle should be necessary for the font-size though. Tthe lyrics sizing should be adaptive and good enough out of the box as to not warrant such an option.

On a 14 inch laptop the lyrics is a bit too big, it should be smaller.
