Features
Variants
PlayMusic features square, round, and landscape variants, which in conjunction with its added scalability settings, guarantee its ability to compliment any desktop layout.
Settings
In order to facilitate easy customization, PlayMusic includes a highly intuitive settings menu, making configuration and modification a breeze. This menu will be launched upon installation, though it can also be accessed at any time by pressing the 
on any of the skin variants.
Accent Colors
The addition of selectable accent colors allows users to add a splash of color to their skin, while also allowing PlayMusic to tastefully adapt to any theme, layout, or wallpaper.
Visualizer
In addition to providing added functionality to the skin, the recent adoption of a highly customizable visualizer also allows one more way of making this skin your own.
Minimization
By default, the skin displays a 
icon whenever GPMDP is inactive, conserving useful desktop space, while also serving as a convenient launcher for the application. Though this functionality, as well as the displayed icon can be modified or disabled in the settings menu.
Volume Control
This skin also features the ability to easily adjust your computers volume by simply scrolling up or down on the mouse-wheel with your cursor over the skin.
Setup
This skin requires you have Google Play Music Desktop Player installed to function properly. After installation, you must also enable Playback API in GPMDP’s Desktop Settings, shown in the image below, as this allows GPMDP to interface with external applications.
