Control your spotify playback without alt-tabbing
If you found bugs, please report to issue tracker on github!
Maintaince only
I won't be adding new features to this mod. This does not mean that I will leave this mod broken if there is bugs, but just that there will not be any new feature. I will still try my best to help you when there is an issue, but feature requests will not be fulfilled. This is because I don't feel motovated to develop anymore with Spotify actively trying to kill this kind of programs. There is unstable features on Github that didn't make it to release, people who wants them can build them themselves.
