Help Needed Vhs style player

[ferreira1120]

hey,
i'm kinda new to all this rainmeter thing, but i wanted to try personalize my desktop.
recently found a skin for a vhs time clock, and wanted to adapt it to be my music player.
found a way to connect it with spotify, but for some reason cant change the colors. can anyone help?
for some reason it always stays black
here's the script

If you right click the skin, then click Edit skin, you can't mistaken the file.
