When Spotify is stopped or paused, the IfCondition isn't met any more, so, according to the bang of the IfFalseAction option, the Fountain of Colors skin is deactivated / unloaded. If it does, the plugin measure returns 1 and in this case, because the IfCondition is met, the IfTrueAction is executed, so the Fountain of Colors is activated / loaded. See that the measure of this code, checks if the Spotify player is playing. If you clicked the New skin button, the newly created skin will open. So create a new skin (eg on the Skins tab of the Manage Rainmeter window, click the Create new skin button and name the newly created config FountainLoader, for example). Showing / hiding the skin isn't enough, you have to load / unload it, to avoid the extra CPU usage.įor this you have to create a new skin, into a different config than the Fountain of Colors. So, although I know how this could be achieved, I can't test the following solution. I'm not using Spotify (you also should take care how are you using it: ).

I have to exit rainmeter and start it again everytime. The extra cpu usage by the skin when playing games or rendering video through madvr is annoying.
