thanks for sharing
that was easy to change to my conky theme
However i was wondering if there is a way to get bigger covers??

exactly what i was looking for!
thanks

@erikdubois I think you could try changing the line:

${image ~/.conkycolors/spotify/last_album_pic.png -p 0,180 -s 60x60}

where you try adjusting 60x60

not workin on my ubuntu 14.04 lts

Anyone tested on ubuntu 15?

Works for me with minor modifications (by deleting all the while loops). Thanks for sharing!
