Animate the change of cover arts

Not that important but would be cool to switch the logging provider by changing the implementation in AppBoostrapper 👍

Show a placeholder instead of blank space when no cover is found

i'm thinking about a fade effect when you don't pass the mouse over the window for a while, for making it less invasive an more cool

Currently, the title (and probably artist) will expand to a multiline display if the text is too long for one line. It would be nice if the window kept the same size and scrolled the text back and forth on a single line instead of expanding. The size of the window keeps changing, and I would prefer it stay the same size.

This seems like it would be a good configuration setting since i'm sure a good counterargument could be made for using expansion over scrolling.

Display a notice or animation when new cover art is loading

it would be a tiny detail but I think that's always useful and handy

Winfy does not seem to load the cover/time information anymore.

Made the following changes to get it working for me

SpotifyLocalApi.cs ~Line 78 added

_Client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.UserAgent] = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/15.0.874.121 Safari/535.2";

SpotifyController.cs ~Line 93 changed

_SpotifyProcess = Process.GetProcessesByName("spotify").FirstOrDefault();

to
_SpotifyProcess = Process.GetProcessesByName("spotify").Where(x => x.MainWindowHandle.ToInt32() != 0).FirstOrDefault();

SpotifyController.cs ~Line 228 in GetSongName() changed last 2 lines:

NOTE: this is NOT a hyphen and is instead a unicode character. If a copy/paste of this doesn't work, then try to copy the Window title from another program that can view all open windows.

string[] title = GetSpotifyWindowTitle().Split(new char[] {'-'}, 2); return title.Count() > 1 ? title[1].Trim() : string.Empty;

and GetArtistName changed last 2 lines:
string[] title = GetSpotifyWindowTitle().Split(new char[] {'-'}, 2); return title.Count() > 1 ? title[0].Trim() : string.Empty;

Like the spotify client, the play/pause button should show a play icon when paused and a pause icon when playing. It would also be nice to show a watermarked pause icon overlaying the album art when playback is paused to give a quick visual indicator that the music is paused.

While "is sound coming out of my speakers?" is a pretty good test for if music is playing, I often mute my speakers when getting a call or when someone walks into my office and forget that my speakers are muted. Currently, the only way to see that music is not playing is to open the spotify client and look or to unmute the speakers. A visual indicator would be helpful. I've attached a screenshot of my idea for how a paused overlay might look, but an image that's more sexy/glassy would be preferred over my amateur paint skills.

I know currently winfy is broken due to new updates, but I am on a older version of spotify, so it doesn't matter.

(couldn't find were to download)

More as one instance of Winfy is kinda useless. That should be prevented

It would be great if the Winfy window snapped to the edges of the desktop when you drag it across the edge. While the OCD center in my brain is giving you a high five for having to position the window exactly on the edge by hand, snapping to the top/bottom/sides would save time. :)

Looks like the always on top setting is only applied after a restart of Winfy. Should be fixed.

Add some nice player buttons (play, pause, etc)

Chrome style ... ooop ooop

I really love Winfy, but I really think that the glassy 3D overlay thing that appears on the album art looks dated and ruins the designs of the album art. Also, I don't feel it fits with the nice minimal black and white of the text underneath. This is only my opinion, others probably like it, which is why I think you should make an option for the 3D overlay to be turned off.

If nobody agrees, then I might just learn C# myself and try to fork it.

Since Spotify itself lacks extended support for AVRCP allowing us to Control the playback with play/pause next/prev buttons on our headsets, it would be much appreciated if you could find an easy way to implement such playback controls within your widget.

Thanks

Implement logging with NLog

when i listen music from radio i need a like button to add the music to "liked from radio" playlist

The referenced component 'Microsoft.Expression.Interactions' could not be found.

The tag 'ControlStoryboardAction' does not exist in XML namespace 'clr-namespace:Microsoft.Expression.Interactivity.Media;assembly=Microsoft.Expression.Interactions'.

Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "Microsoft.Expression.Interactions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.

Is there a trustworthy build somewhere?

Like some nice fading or psy dancing all over the screen. We'll see 😄

Option for Winfy to start with Windows.

Hint: To achieve this, I need to implement the ClickOnce updating stuff by myself, the bootstrapper won't work in autorun mode.
