For the ones who are here about lyrics missing in the new Fullscreen mode, I opened a post about it here so Spotify brings the feature back.

Feel free to like and or comment if you feel the same way.

The new full screen mode is not only extra clicks to get to, but it was also hard to find and it is not true full screen. It shows the bar across the bottom. Please bring the old full screen mode back, it is easier/quicker to access and looks better.

I don't know if it's just me, but it seems to be back to the old way now, which is good.   and least for the windows PC app.

This doesn't work for me – I can't see a fullscreen option using the Mac Desktop application.

for those who really need it like me, its still availible on https://open.spotify.com/

But what about the full screen while having lyrics? It was one of my favorite features

[Drago1490]

Honestly, I don't like this new UI decision.  I have been using spotify on the desktop app for roughly 4 years, and I have some things I would like to say about it.  Being able to swap between fullscreen or fullscreen lyrics has been removed, which I used a lot on my second monitor, and I also liked being able to view the artist image and the album artwork at the same time while having the song title and status bar still visible without an ugly black bar across the bottom.  Now I have to go out of my way to tab into spotify or hover over it with my mouse to see the song name and thats pretty inconvenient.  I like the way it now slide-transitions between songs, but the old layout was better for convenience.  Please take some of these things into consideration.

Forgot to log in to post this,

Sadly, it doesn't show the lyrics on the full screen anymore 😞

R.I.P fullscreen mode 😞 i didnt ask for this update, is there any way of going back to the previous version ?

[alekohalkias]

this was a bad change and you should feel bad for thinking this was a good idea. way to waste developer time making this worse and waste my time by having to suffer with this.

New fullscreen mode f@cking sucks. Bring back the old one!

[EliDeLara]

Hello there! Same issue here. The solution works, however, it only shows the album cover picture but not the lyrics. I only use the full screen option to make the lyrics bigger. It still works on spotify web player though. I hope they bring back the full-screen function for lyrics as well.

The new full screen mode is cumbersome and much less attractive than the previous version, which I used heavily. Spotify, please allow the previous full screen mode in the Windows App.

[ElisinParis]

So we really can't have the lyrics in the fullscreen mode anymore? This was basiclly the only way I used Spotify at home, I really hope they will put them back because I'm quite mad about it and I really don't get why they changed it

[Gausst]

El hecho de que quitaran esta función de la parte inferior derecha en la app es un desperdicio, sobre todo porque el modo pantalla completa de antes funcionaba con el modo de letra, ahora el modo pantalla completa que describen aca solo funciona con los videos, las caratulas o portadas, pero cuando presionas letra se sale del modo.

[yunuska]

Is there no option for lyrics anymore?

[Gausst]

la función de letra aun esta disponible, lo que no esta disponible es ver las letras en pantalla completa mientras usas la app de escritorio(Algo que era muy útil para sesiones de Karaoke)

-The lyrics feature is still available, but viewing the lyrics in full screen while using the desktop app is not available (something that was very useful for karaoke sessions).

Edit:I should mention that in the web version the full screen option for lyrics is still available.(but using the browser is a waste of hardware resources)

Why would you make something that previously one click so hidden? Its now a few extra clicks to go into the full screen? Which isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things but I'd wager most people have more use for full screen Spotify on their windows PC than than the weird mini player which pops up below now.

Change it back.

[ThisAppIsLosingMe]

The features on the desktop app keep getting worse and it almost is making me want to switch back to paid Pandora and drop my spotify subscription.

I use the desktop app mainly at work for the full screen player view while I work so I can have a dedicated screen to show the player, lyrics, artwork, and media controls.
But recently when using the full screen mode, the app has begun to automatically hide all these extra views/controls when it is not being actively used OR focused!
Even when I just click the next track button and hover the mouse for 5 seconds, it will auto-hide ALL THE CONTROLS.

If there is a corporate brained project manager responsible for this, they should be fired.

I keep having to actively STOP WORKING to go to the app and click inside the player to reveal all the details I used to be able to see - when I could just glance over to my 2nd or 3rd screen to view how much of a song is left or what the next song is.

Code editors have better UI view options . . .

This app now makes me feel like I am using a 'the-simple-minded in mind' Apple product on my windows desktop

[Rawrberto]

I am NOT a fan of this change. I use fullscreen mode with a touchscreen laptop/tablet. The convenience of tapping anywhere on the screen to pause and play music was one of the features that is now removed.

Lyrics view only and name of the song without the sidebar (all the black colors in the side i feel like it's unnecessary when i choose lyrics view), especially for foreign speaker like me i would like to see lyrics almost all the time and in the most comfortable way if possible and in the bigger space like it used to
