There exist solution but maybe you can add it to this app to have nice fully functional addon? (It can be optional after all) This show text on bar: https://github.com/paulyoung/Statusfy This show text and status of played music: https://github.com/kmikiy/SpotMenu Better if have standard icon 'play','pause' and fallback to standard icon of app.

To help with code: https://github.com/MarshallOfSound/Google-Play-Music-Desktop-Player-UNOFFICIAL-/blob/d40f511531e2966f9aa2917201a6cf6a9a7ff7a6/src/main/features/win32/thumbbarButtons.js They add icon in Google Play Music Player and it's change base on music status. Thanks for addon ;)

Thanks for the suggestion. Although both are great ideas, I believe only showing the status as an icon is possible through the Electron framework. Do you know of any way to display text in the status bar through Electron?

+1 for changing the icon when Spotify is playing or not. At work I have many screens and windows and my biggest problem is leaving Spotify playing forever in my discarded headphones while I remain unaware.

Will work on this for the next release. Cheers!

This is a possible method to creating menubar output: https://github.com/matryer/bitbar

I actually discovered some functions in the Electron API that should allow for text to be displayed as well!
