Update 2.0.0 - (Big) Changes

INFO: This update requires the Rainmeter 4.2 Beta (r3074)

This update includes the biggest rewrite i've made for this skin yet and such includes a lot of under-the-hood improvements which improved performance and also made development much easier.

Since the start of this project back in October 2014 i've never thought that this will become the currently most viewed Rainmeter skin on DeviantArt with ~1 million views and around 250k downloads on Github (since Jan 2017).
This is insane and i really want to thank you guys for your support, keep on being awesome :)

So here's the changelog:

• Completely rewrote the skin from the ground up (using latest Rainmeter features)
• Tweaked audio visualization (much better audio smoothing + new multiplier value to increase size)
• Improved visualizer performance (0-0.5% CPU on a i5-3570k)
• Improved skin width calculations (this is especially useful for rotation & progress bar)
• Added update checker (you will get a small notification when a new update hits Github)
• Added auto detection of the default audio device
• Updated SpotifyPlugin & WebNowPlaying plugins

Update 1.8.1 - Small hotfix

This is a small hotfix for the issues regarding the shadow on the inverted visualizer and also the aspect ratio bug of the cover image when using Youtube.

Changelog:

• Fixed offset drop shadow when inverted
• Fixed aspect ratio of non-square images
• Fixed "Ignore Sound" setting using hard-coded value instead of variable
• Updated GPMDP plugin to 1.4.1 (reduces CPU usage and fixes slowdowns)

Update 1.8.0 - Shadow Of The Day

There is a lot of new stuff in this new update, but first i wanted to thank @tjhrulz again for helping me with this update because this will include his newest plugin: WebNowPlaying

It will fetch the song you're playing from your webbrowser through an extension (Chrome and Firefox) and it will display the song information in the skin. It got support for many major websites and streaming services, including Youtube, SoundCloud and Pandora and many more are planned.

Now onto the changelog:

• Added WebNowPlaying plugin
• Added Drop shadow option (ON by default)
• Added Ignore Sound when not playing option (this will disable the visualizer when no media player is playing)
• Added Invert Visualizer option (this will flip the spectrum, but keeps the rotation angle)
• Added Open variables file button on right-click menu
• Updated Google Play Music Desktop Player Plugin to 1.4.0
• Fixed Genre colors not updating after song has changed
• Fixed song information being cut-off
• Fixed settings sliders not working propertly sometimes
• Smaller bugfixes and audio adjustments

Update 1.7.1 - All the Small Things

This update will improve the performance of the visualizer and also fix some smaller issues which we introduced with the last update. Thanks for @tjhrulz for doing all the magic on these fixes and improvements 👍

Now the changelog:

• General performance improvements (up to 5-10% less CPU usage on the settings skins)
• Updated Google Play Music Desktop Player Plugin to 1.3.1
• Updated Mouse.dll Plugin to 3.2.0
• Changed text color of position and duration to keep consistent with the player controls
• Fixed encoding issue on rotation title (the degrees symbol would be replaced by random characters)
• Fixed mediaplayer selection not showing selection when pressed

Update 1.7.0 - You Spin Me Round

Thanks to the genius code from @alatsombath, the creater of the Fountain of Colors visualizer, it is now possible to rotate the visualizer and also change your audio device. Also the settings skin got redesigned and now uses sliders for pretty much every setting. It's much easier to use now and it also looks prettier :)

Here's the changelog:
