- Spotify desktop users can use keyboard shortcuts to quickly control music playback. On a Windows PC, skip forward and back between tracks using CTRL + Right Arrow and CTRL + Left Arrow, respectively.

- I am using win 10 with a regular keyboard with media buttons (Alienware default PC keyboard, but I'm using an Asus Rog so no Alienware local programs to check). All buttons work correctly when Spotify is running so no problem there. But no matter what I tried I cannot get the music player launcher button to launch Spotify instead of Groove.

There are three sets of settings in Toastify. The first one – General Settings – takes care of the Toastify behavior with respect to Spotify and Windows. Here you can configure if Toastify should start automatically with Windows and should it launch Spotify when initiated. One thing I liked here is Clipboard Template. Using it you can easily paste the current song you are listening to on any application using a global Toastify Appearance
The second setting Toast lets you configure the small notification window that appears just above the System Tray whenever Spotify changes the track. In the Toast settings you can control the appearance of the notification box like the fade out time, color, thickness and the overall dimensions.
You can also reduce the toast transparency using the three sliders next to the top, bottom and border color and manage the transparency of each of these elements individually.
