This guide walks you step-by-step through installing Glowify. You can install Glowify either through the Spicetify Marketplace or fully manually (theme files + the Glowify settings extension).
Before proceeding, make sure you have the following installed:
You can install Glowify either through the Marketplace or by installing it manually. Choose the method that suits you best.
If you haven’t set up Marketplace yet, do that first. Then open Spotify, go to the Marketplace, switch to the Themes tab, search for Glowify and click Install.
After that, Glowify is usually enabled automatically.
This is the “fully manual” method for Glowify on Windows. You’ll copy a few files into Spicetify’s folders and then enable the theme + extension.
Files you need
You need these theme files: user.css, theme.js, and color.ini. You also need the settings extension: glowify-settings.js.
You can download all of these files from the Glowify GitHub repository: https://github.com/NMWplays/Glowify
1. Create the theme folder
Create a folder named glowify inside:
%appdata%\spicetify\Themes\2. Copy the theme files
Put these three files into %appdata%\spicetify\Themes\glowify\:
user.css
theme.js
color.ini3. Copy the settings extension
Copy glowify-settings.js into your Spicetify extensions folder:
%appdata%\spicetify\Extensions\4. Enable theme + extension in the config
Open config-xpui.ini (inside your Spicetify config folder). Under [Settings], set:
[Settings]
current_theme = glowify
extensions = glowify-settings.jsIf you don’t want to edit the file manually, you can also set the same values using the PowerShell/CLI commands shown in the last step below.
Note: keep the theme name exactly glowify to match the folder name.
Activate Glowify via command line (recommended):
spicetify config current_theme glowify
spicetify config extensions glowify-settings.js
