Ridiculous color scheme, and can't find way to change

Ridiculous color scheme, and can't find way to change

I have been putting it off for a while, but I just tried to find a way to change this horrible color scheme and can't find anything. I mean, finding scroll bars and such shouldn't take more time than searching for a song.

 

I am pretty sure if I wasn't using a laptop with limited viewing angle I might not be so aggravated about this. But I am. So Spotify is aggravating. 

 

Is there a way to change this?  I have version 1.0.48.103.g15edf1ec

 

Thanks for any help

actually it is possible but obviously not wanted. You would need some css / webdesign skills to do that. Just unzip %AppData%\Spotify\Apps\zlink.spa as a regular zip archive and change css\style.css. Save style.css and put it back into zlink.spa. Ofc it will be overwritten on next update. With about 10 rows of code you can get rid of this awful black greem emo colors and get something less eye-carcinogenic like this: (my current ui) If you want, i can give some more details.

I'd love to have that scheme. Nothing wrong with being able to see. Black letters on white. Fine. Sign me up. I've got the CSS file open in Notepad and have ExamDiff for Cisco stuff so if you can send me your code that would be great. I'll look thru the code in the meantime. I don't know CSS but HTML I can figure. Thanks again.

looks like colorhexa dot com tells me what all these color: #000000 and whatevers are, so I assume I just need to come up with my own mix, save the file, rezip it, rename it, and then set NTFS permissions on the file so that Spotify updates can never modify it. At least not until I allow it to be modified. Sound about right? 

I went ahead and changed all the #121212's to #666666 . Now it seems that the theme is a lot easier to work with. 

 

That hexacode website indicates that the 121212 is nearly black (#000000) while the 666666 is a bit lighter . And now I can see the scrollbars, which was my MAIN COMPLAINT

 

Why Spotify simply doesn't do this is beyond me.  Having scrollbars that are nearly invisible is nuts. 

my color scheme contains of
#remote-playback-bar { display:none !important; } header, header *, #menu-wrapper, #menu-wrapper *, #content-wrapper, #content-wrapper * { background: #eeeeee !important; color: #222 !important; } footer, footer * { background: #bbbbbb !important; color: #222 !important; } .progress-bar, .progress-bar .inner { background-color: #222 !important; } .progress-bar .handle { opacity: 1 !important; //background: red !important; }
appended to zlink style.css, and i also have added
* { background: #eeeeee !important; color: #222 !important; }
to some style.css in other spa files, like collection-songs.spa for favorite songs, playlist-destop.spa for playlists, album.spa, discover.spa, settings.spa, search.spa, browse.spa

Thanks a bunch. Will try that when I get a few minute later. 

 

I APPRECIATE YOU taking the time to get that to me so quickly!!!
