If you start playing a song in Groove or when the next song starts, does the skin update?Īfter refreshing the skin the first time, if you close Groove and open it again, does the skin update? If there are multiple players active, you can change the current one with the gray arrow on the right (see the first image in the first post on this thread).Īre there any errors from this skin in the rainmeter log?

Open Rainmeter and click Refresh all at the bottom left. One question however: if the player (as said Groove Music) is launched after the skin, the skin doesn't react until a refresh. Since we have Windows 10, I always looked for a plugin which could control Groove Music, because as we know, the NowPlaying measures can't.
