sry for the triple post but it works again after i started the setting skin of fountainofcolor

sooooooooooooo i think this is a problem of communication between my player and my skin but touching the settings solve the problem

TOTAL NONSENS.

I'll mp you just to make sure it continue working ^^'

Okay so i did some tests and now i know that there is a problem with spotify: when the sound comes from youtube ot whatever player you want, it s ok

When i switch on spotify, it lags. I'm going to try duplicating monstercat visualizer but it will be cool for "the science" to find a solution for FountainOfColor

In this case me personally can't help more here, because I don't have Spotify.
Eventually try to check the Update value of both, Monstercat and Fountain of Colors. What are those values?

[iBooface]

Update =-1

it lags again i really don't understand this thing even mosntercat and my clock are doing some weird things maybe the last windows update or rainmeter update just **** something up ._.

[balala]

Update =-1

Not possible! A visualizer skin MUST have a positive and not too large Update. Me at least don't see another possibility.
Give me please the links where you've downloaded those skins, to try them out.

Yeah i knew this couldn't be normal, i changed it and still laggy, here is the link if you want to try. But i also think that i made a mistake on wich variable is the update rate... becasue this variable is in the [rainmeter] section sooooo....

PS: if you spend time on an application (window or fullscreen) it stop lagging for a moment and start again when you spend too much time on your desktop

Fountain of Colors seems very weird. Can't follow what is going on there.
And as I said, I have no Spotify installed, so here probably someone else will have to help you. Sorry...

Haven't read all the posts, but I read you have some lag issue with your visualizers... Do you happen to an old PC? Because these skins are pretty CPU hungry and if you have an old CPU this might be an issue.

[iBooface]

np np !

No i've got a new pc and i play a lot of video games sooooo the config is quite good (i7 and 8G ram)

[balala]

what kind of programs are runing and how many skins are you running?

Probably it's not a "too many skins running" issue: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=29782&start=10#p154055
Rather something related to Spotify: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=29782&start=10#p154099

Balala is right because even when i unload all my skins it continues lagging.

If you still want the info :

- MNML UI for the date/hour
- my own rainmter skin for play/pause/previous/next music
- a copy of hexacomb that i changed to get my own icons
- minimalist analog clock because it fits in my wallpaper
- Fountain of color for the sound visualizer
-Monstercat for the song infos
- translucent taskbar because it is just the base of all things

i ve got 4 sound "bars" / 2 clocks (analog and digital )/ 3buttons for the music / 9 icons

here is a screen of my layout ^^ : http://www.noelshack.com/2018-42-7-1540135959-geometric-beasts-screen.png
