Description: PeekAboo-media Conky (Universal Media Display including Spotify & YouTube!)
Looks like any other conky clock... until you play media.... it will open and display song title, artist name, album and cover art if available, as well as the name of the player.
Works with the official Spotify app, and nearly ALL media players and web browsers too! Works "out-of-the-box". Just install the widget and the dependencies. No need to set up or add your player. It will "find" any media playing. If cover art is not available, a shiny icon displays in it's place. Multiple colored icons to chose from to match your desktop theme.
Note: The words "Zorin OS" can be easily changed to anything you want.
So far I have tested it on: Official Spotify app FreeTube app Clemintine Tauon Exaile RhythmBox VLC Brave Browser ie: spotify, youtube, rumble, etc. FireFox ie: spotify, youtube, rumble, etc.
THIS CONKY IS INTENTED FOR DARK DESKTOPS. CONKY TRANSPARENCY WILL ONLY WORK ON A DARK DESKTOP. If you want to use this on a light desktop you must enable the background.
DEPENDENCIES: Playerctl & wget These are light-weight terminal add-ons both under 1 MB in size Instructions for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, and Arch are in the READ_ME file.
Read the READ-ME file for set-up. Set-up is simple but it is important to read the READ-ME!
INCLUDES Fonts and multiple colored icons to match your desktop
Note: The clock part of this Conky is based off a another Conky here. For the life of me I can't find it now. I want to give credit to the author, so if you find it please leave a comment so I credit them properly. Thanks! The media aspect of this Conky I coded myself from scratch.

10 great theme... A little suggestion for the name of the OS maybe you can use the ${distribution} variable because not everyone uses zorin os
