If you're having any issues, it's probably best to ask for help on the Rainmeter or Spicetify Discord servers. Watch out though, it's a troon-infested shithole and generally speaking an extreme left-wing echo chamber with no tolerance for different opinions. I got banned for saying men aren't women! The members are also mean, pornsick males who call themselves lesbians.
