Customization
Spicetify lets you customize Spotify in three ways:
| Type | What it does |
|---|---|
| Themes | Change colors, fonts, and visual styling |
| Extensions | Add new features and functionality |
| Custom Apps | Add entirely new pages to the sidebar |
Marketplace vs Manual Installation
There are two ways to install customizations:
Marketplace (Recommended)
The Spicetify Marketplace is a built-in browser that lets you discover, install, and manage themes, extensions, and snippets directly from Spotify's sidebar.
If you followed the Getting Started guide, you already have Marketplace installed.
Use Marketplace when:
- You want a simple, visual way to browse and install customizations
- You prefer one-click installation
- You want automatic updates
Manual Installation
Manual installation gives you direct control over your Spicetify configuration.
Use manual installation when:
- The theme/extension isn't available in Marketplace
- You're developing your own customizations
- You want to use built-in extensions that ship with Spicetify
- You need precise control over what's installed
Each customization page in this section covers both Marketplace usage and manual installation.
Configuration
All manual customizations are controlled through:
- CLI commands:
spicetify config <key> <value>followed byspicetify apply - Config file: Direct editing of
config-xpui.ini
See the Configuration Reference for details on the config file and all available options.
