[iOS] Allow custom iOS widget color scheme

[mmcgill829]

Thanks for implementing a widget for the app for iOS14. However, the lack of the ability to set a static color scheme is frustrating. 

The widget automatically changes color based on playlist/artist image, but doesn't seem to adjust to black/white. 

Many users have spent a large amount of time setting up custom icon sets and themes that this widget clashes with. I have a black/white setup on mine, for example, and the bright green widget just doesn't work. 

Would be as simple as adding a menu in settings for widgets and allowing choice between color schemes. Should be fairly easy from a coding perspective.

So i found a way to make it fit in to the color scheme of the site by just removing the color all together.

Would love to have control over the color of the widget though.

Just add the following line to your styling:

-webkit-filter: grayscale(100%);

I’m trying to vote. I don’t see number of votes increase by 1 when I click “vote”. I am on IOS and I logged in with my Spotify account to vote. So I’ll just make a comment. 

I have put time and so much effort into my IOS layout for my home screens/Lock Screen. My theme color is pink. My phone is pink, my phone case is pink. My app icons are uniquely pink. I’m using your amazing widget, however I use Spotifys exclusive “Liked playlist” for all my music. The widget then shows its blue liked cover on my Home Screen. It really ruins my design. Please Spotify, contact apple with your codes to be able to have customizable colors for the Liked playlist! Were users just using your more convenient “quick add song” to a playlist option. 

Thank you so much for already taking this idea seriously. I look forward to the day it becomes a viable feature for those with desires of creativity, and self expression with your music streaming service. I pay monthly for the past 8+ of my life. Let’s go, you can do it! 🌸💞😎
