Sound, Music and Visualizers • VC Player

Hi, thanks for sharing your work. I currently have it setup with Spotify and was wondering if there is any way to get it to hide when not in use? I changed the substitute values to be blank so the text is hidden for artist and title when I close Spotify but the album cover remains. I tried adding a transparent jpg for the cover substitute but that didn't work, I think I don't understand how the plugin pulls the cover data from Spotify so I am having a hard time modifying it.

To hide the icon when not hovering with the mouse, you can change the [MeterCover] section, ImageAlpha=1 and change the MouseLeaveAction to also change ImageAlpha to 1;

It is also possible to have nothing display by setting the variable HideDesktopIcon=1 in the VCPlayer variables file.

To change that value, right click the VCPlayer music icon and select "Edit VCPlayer Variables". In the file that opens in your text editor, scroll down to the line HideDesktopIcon=0 and change it to HideDesktopIcon=1. Save the file and refresh the VCPlayer skin.

Now nothing will appear on the desktop, but you can then right-click the Rainmeter notification icon and use the VCPlater options offered there.The skin will still control your selected visualizer but not offer any other controls (no volume control, no play/pause, no previous/next, no interface switching, no title, no artist).
