Übersicht Spotify mini player and ad silencer widget

First of all I would like to thank Felix for the great work on creating Übersicht and keeping it updated day after day.

Übersicht is an OSX App that let's you install and develop widgets written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript and see them in your OSX desktop.

Features

  1. See the name, artist and album image of the current Spotify track in the desktop.
  2. Play/pause the current Spotify track from the desktop.
  3. Go forward the next Spotify song from the desktop.
  4. Go backward the previous Spotify song from the desktop.
  5. The widget automatically detects the ads and silence Spotify so you don't have to listen to them.
  6. When the widget detects that a song is being resumed after an ad, it turns up again the volume to the latest volume set in Spotify.

Style modifications

You can easily change the style of the widget by modifying some of the Stylus CSS global variables:

bottom Margin left from the widget to the bottom Default it's 10%, can contain any CSS width compatible measure
right Margin left from the widget to the right Default it's 2%, can contain any CSS width compatible measure

Final thoughts

  1. If you are thinking in using this widget as an ad silencer all the time, you should considering in upgrading your Spotify account to premium in order to support the great service Spotify offers.
