thanks cant wait to try this
Thanks, it has plenty of options and variations to keep your interesting!
welcome
THANKS! Glad you like it... it's one of my favorites too because of all of the possible variations!
im just not able to load it on my desktop pls help
Install Rainmeter. Download the SoundSquare package from the download link to the upper right.
Double-click that file to install the skins in Rainmeter.
Load a version of the skin. Play some music.
If that doesn't work, I do not know how else to help...
This is a dedicated Spotify vis. I so love it. So much fun to play with it! You are the master of the Lua!
Thanks! I just kept adding options until I couldn't think of any more~ :)
Glad to hear you enjoy it!
then ill try it on my other computer thx anyways
Version 1.2018.01.24 has changes to enhance color gradient use and options!
The included color schemes were modified to take advantage of the addition of the Chameleon plugin by socks-the-fox and re-arranged in the list by similar patterns.
NOTE: The numbered schemes MUST be named with sequential numbers!
If you don't do that, you will see an ugly blue coloration for the missing scheme number.

Desktop wallpaper colors can be incorporated into any of the current schemes.
You can modified and save as a new scheme by naming it the next number in the sequence.

Recently discovered Rainmeter and have been looking for a visualizer and my goodness yours is perfect. imgur.com/a/PMmfB
Thanks! Nice work of customizing, it matches the lions very well!
hello Eclectic-Tech
Just seen a link to your visualizer on the RM Forum and had a look. Only one word I'm afraid can come anywhere near doing it justice...AWESOME...Thank You.

Thanks! 
It started with simple expanded squares, then, as usual, I couldn't resist tweaking it!

nice work man really......
Had a really good time coding too!
Thanks!
Thanks!
sorry, but doesn't works
What you mean is "It doesn't work for you." ... 2,600 other people have downloaded and are using.
It works fine if you have the latest Rainmeter installed and do not have a program running on your PC that takes exclusive control of your audio.
If you can describe what happens, I may be able to suggest solutions. First try these help tips

Awesome as always!
Thank you very much!
Instead of the Squares disappearing after there is no sound, is there a way to keep the squares still visible?
You can have the frames and cross lines always visible by adding a semi-colon ( ; ) to all 4 Hidden=... lines in the meters of each skin.
But the actual shapes intensity (visibility) are driven by the audio level, so when there is no sound, the shapes are invisible.

These are absolutely fantastic! Awesome job.
