I am migrating an existing spotify app to API v1, which has a lot of implications. Switching most of the backend code was easy, but now I'm working on the frontend. Our app has a dark style, so regarding to the style guide it should have a dark track list. I am unable to find any help in switching a v1-app to a dark UI. Do you know anything that might help?

Using the Spotify lists should get you what you need. Is there something special about your track list that prevents using them?

  • They do work, but there is no way of using a spotify-supplied dark style as you are told in the design guidelines – 21Studios Feb 07 '14 at 15:58
  • Yes, I agree the ability to have a dark playlist does seem to be missing. Poked around in list-base.css in the inspector and I don't see any options hiding in there for dark lists. I guess when they say "You can choose between a dark version and a light version." they mean "as long as you choose light" :) – Thomas Feb 07 '14 at 17:20

    There are no specific CSS styles for light / dark anymore in the API 1.0. The design guidelines are out of date right now, and we will review them soon. However, I can't find anywhere where it says that you should use a dark track list if your app is dark. I would recommend you to use the default style. – José M. Pérez Feb 07 '14 at 18:11

    Yes, you are right - you're not explicitly told. Still looks kinda bad to have a bright white playlist right in our black app. Modifying the white playlist to durn turk doesn't look feasible to me. – 21Studios Feb 07 '14 at 20:12
