Installing

First you need to disable Spotify's indicator. Spotify is using sni-qt package to show indicator. Removing that package will disable indicator but this solution will affect other Qt based applications like Skype.

But we got another option to do that. after some research i discovered that this task can be done using AppArmor.

I wrote an experimental AppArmor profile, copy this profile and reload AppArmor.

sudo cp spotify /etc/apparmor.d/spotify

sudo service apparmor reload

Then copy status icon,

sudo cp spotify16x16.png /opt/spotify/spotify-client/spotify16x16.png

Final step. just replace /usr/bin/spotify symbolic link with spotify-indicator.py

sudo rm /usr/bin/spotify

sudo cp spotify-indicator.py /usr/bin/spotify

sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/spotify

TO DO

Shuffle and Repeat menu items not working and commented out in code because those Dbus functions not working properly.
