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
