This works by getting info about every windows using xwininfo, get spotify's one by searching ("spotify" "Spotify"), grab Window ID using that regex which matches hexadecimal with length of 7~8, and toggle the fullscreen using wmctrl.

Only tested on Fedora Cinnamon, but it should work on other systems. if it doesn't, please report with your output of following command:
xwininfo -root -tree | grep 'spotify'

Suggestions and fixes are welcome, if there's one.
