Originally assigned to: @aome510 on GitHub.

I noticed recently spotify-player switched to this icon for me? Im not sure if im able to configure an option to switch the icon or not, just noticed it one day. I'll keep digging to see if I can change it but figured I'd ask to see if theres an easy fix.

Unfortunately, it’s not configurable atm. I can add a quick change to allow configure play/pause icons

Should be fixed by #68. Can you try the latest build of master and confirm that the icons are configurable by changing the app.toml file?

yeah, im a bit unsure how to use #68 specifically. Is there a way to use it through the aur?

Hi @Selmer443, do you happen to have Rust+Cargo installed in your system? If yes, you can test the latest build on main by building one:

Create a .config/spotify-player/app.toml config file and configure the play/pause icons:

play_icon = "="
pause_icon = ">"

Clone this repo and run a local build

git clone https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player.git && cd spotify-player
cargo run

Observe that the play/pause icons are changed compared to the default values

Is there a way to use it through the aur?

Right now, aur only supports the latest release not the latest development change. Either you need to wait for the new release or add a new spotify-player-nightly package. I don't have access to Arch laptop, so I cannot help on this

works perfectly for me, just curious if I wanted to have easy access to running spotify-player like I was with the aur package making the command "spotify-player" available globally. Would I run a separate cargo command ? or will I have to navigate to the spotify-player folder each time i'd like to start the program. --Just to clarify, the icons are entirely configurable now and I have tested it with multiple icons.

Great to hear that.

cargo run should produce a binary in target/debug/spotify_player. You can link that binary to a folder in your path, e.g

ln -s $PWD/target/debug/spotify_player /usr/local/bin/

Note that cargo run is a debug run/build, so if you want your app to run fast, you can build a release version. Same steps can be used here

cargo build --release
ln -s $PWD/target/release/spotify_player /usr/local/bin/
