BTSpotifyGeeklet

Geeklet for Spotify player, shows track info and artwork

Instructions

###Easy setup

  1. download the zip file from releases tab
  2. decompress the downloaded glet.zip
  3. open the SpotifyGeeklet/glet folder
  4. open each file in GeekTool
  5. you can rearrange the geeklets to your desired position

###Using the codes
In Shell Geeklet, type in command:
Without arguments

osascript path_to_script

Result

TrackName
TrackArtist
TrackAlbum
TrackTime

Running without argument will also update the Artwork.tiff file

With arguments

osascript path_to_script -name     // return track name
osascript path_to_script -artist   // return track artist
osascript path_to_script -album    // return track album
osascript path_to_script -time     // return track time/duration
osascript path_to_script -artwork  // update Artwork.tiff

In Image Geeklet, set the path to path_to_script_folder/Artwork.tiff

Refresh geeklets with duration of 1-5 secs, depending on your preference

Extras

If you don't want the Spotify icon as the default artwork, there's another transparent icon in path_to_script_folder/DefaultArtwork/DefaultArtworkTrans.tiff, rename it to DefaultArtwork.tiff. If you prefer another icon image, you can just replace the DefaultArtwork.tiff.
