SpotifyStatusApplet

SpotifyStatusApplet was broken by a Spotify API change made in Q3 2018. All previous downloads have been removed from this site. I switched to a Logitech G915 TKL in 2021, so I no longer have any plans to work on applets.

SpotifyStatusApplet - an LCD applet for the Logitech Gaming keyboard family.

From version 1.2, the field titles (Track, Album and Artist) can be toggled on/off by pressing “soft key 1”, the first key underneath the LCD on most models.

From version 1.3, the song playback can be controlled via the soft keys: 2 - previous, 3 - play/pause toggle, 4 -next.

The source code is available at https://github.com/LPardue/SpotifyStatusApplet

Changelog

• v1.3 Beta - Fix critical bug with newer versions of Spotify. Added soft key playback control.
• v1.2 Beta - Added ability to toggle Field titles.
• v1.1 - Stable functional release.

Running

SpotifyStatusApplet runs as a tray icon. Once launched, the icon can be right-clicked to bring up a context menu that allows the application to be exited.

SpotifyStatusApplet is dependent on:

- An instance of Spotify running (of course!). The applet utilises the Spotify service SpotifyWebHelper.exe to access information, further details are available at Spotify Local API - - A compatible Logitech Gaming Keyboard with LCD and official Logitech drivers / software installed. The software has only been tested on a G510 to date but support for all LCD equipped devices is expected. - Windows and .Net. Tested on Windows 10 64-bit and .Net Framework 4+.
