My Question or Issue

Hi. All was going "OK" until last Spotify update

I've noticed the Spotify widget in lockscreen now has the previous/pause/next button icons too small. And also have noticed the random/favourite buttons are now bigger. Also, having background for each song sometimes make this worser

Please take a look at the screenshot attached.

 

I've not found a way or setting to change this. And I don't think Spotify will fix this soon

Is there another widget for lockscreen that can control Spotify where I can have more control over this?

 

Thanks

Hiya kabeza, frankly as an iOS user I'm pretty jealous of that feature it looks sick but that still stinks the song navigation buttons got smaller.. 

There are several third-party lockscreen widgets available that can control Spotify playback and offer more customization options. Here are a few options:

  1. Media Utilities - This is a popular widget that can control playback for multiple music apps, including Spotify. It offers several customization options, including the ability to change the size and placement of the playback buttons.

  2. KWGT - KWGT is a powerful widget creator that can be used to make custom lockscreen widgets for Spotify. With KWGT, you can design your own widget and add whatever buttons or controls you want.

  3. Poweramp - Poweramp is a popular music player app that also offers a lockscreen widget for controlling playback. While it's not specifically designed for Spotify, it should work with any music app that supports lockscreen controls.

  4. Phonograph - Phonograph is another music player app that offers a customizable lockscreen widget. Like Poweramp, it's not specifically designed for Spotify, but it should work with any music app that supports lockscreen controls.

Keep in mind that some of these options may require a bit of setup and customization to get the look and feel you want, but they can offer more control and customization than the built-in Spotify widget.

Hi Prague

 

While doing some research about the options you've mentioned, I found out that the Spotify Widget on my Xiaomi may not be from Spotify but maybe from MIUI, Xiaomi's UI layer on top of Android...

 

1. I've not found Media Utilities in Play Store nor googling. Is that for Android? Maybe it is not available for my device

 

2. I own a KWGT license, have access to everything, but there's no (bug-less) way to put a KWGT widget on lockscreen

 

Will try Poweramp and/or Phonograph later, but I wouldn't like to install another app just to have only a widget on lockscreen, but if any of those work, I'll update the thread with the experience

 

Thanks again
