Design resets when logging in

raliovi — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 13:14:01 GMT

I tried getting the new Spotify Design, so I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. When I was asked to log in I saw the new design but as soon as I did that it changed back to the previous one. Is there an explanation for this? I am running version 1.1.56.595.g2d2da0de.

Hey @raliovi,

When you uninstalled the app, have you made sure there were no files left in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Spotify ?

That folder gets deleted when uninstalling the app

Open the prefs file and paste the following line:

ui.experience_override="xpui"

The prefs file is under %appdata%\Spotify\prefs on Windows.
