How to Customize Spotify With Spicetify Themes

Open PowerShell as your normal user (not Administrator) and run the command from the official getting-started page at spicetify.app:

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/spicetify/cli/main/install.ps1 | iex

The script installs the CLI, adds it to your PATH, and offers to install Marketplace. Accept it. Then run:

spicetify backup apply

This backs up Spotify's original files and applies the patch. Spotify restarts, and a Marketplace entry appears in the left sidebar.

Open Spotify, click Marketplace in the sidebar, and go to the Themes tab. Every listed theme shows a preview, a description, and available color schemes.

Click Install on a theme and it applies immediately. To switch color schemes, open the theme card and pick from the dropdown.

Popular themes: Comfy, Catppuccin, Dribbblish, text (minimal), and Sleek.

If a theme is not in Marketplace, download or clone the theme folder and copy it into your Spicetify Themes directory:

• Windows: %appdata%\spicetify\Themes\
• Mac and Linux: ~/.config/spicetify/Themes/

Then apply it from the terminal:

spicetify config current_theme ThemeFolderName
spicetify config color_scheme SchemeName
spicetify apply

color_scheme is optional. Leave it out to use the theme default. Chain in one line:

spicetify config current_theme Comfy && spicetify config color_scheme Default && spicetify apply

Extensions add functionality. The easiest path is Marketplace under the Extensions tab: click Install and it applies without the terminal.

Manual install from a file:

spicetify config extensions extension.js
spicetify apply

Custom apps:

spicetify config custom_apps appname
spicetify apply

Useful Marketplace extensions: Shuffle+, Full Screen Mode, Lyrics Plus, Volume Percentage, and Keyboard Shortcut.

With Spicetify applied, right-click the profile picture in Spotify:

• Home config: hover over any Home section and use the arrows to move it up or down.
• Sidebar config: hover over sidebar items to move, show, or hide them.

Click the profile picture again and deselect the config option to lock the layout.
