How to Italicize Names on Spotify
As a music lover, you might have noticed that your favorite artists and bands have first names and last names displayed on your Spotify dashboard, but without any emphasis or italicization. This might be frustrating, especially if you’re a fan of an artist who prefers their name without the primary emphasis. In this article, we’ll guide you on how to italicize names on Spotify.
Step 1: Enable Italicize Names on Spotify
To italicize names on Spotify, you need to enable it first. Here are the steps:
- Go to your Spotify profile page and click on the three horizontal lines in the top right corner.
- Select "Account" from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the "Personalization" section.
- Click on "Default profiles" and then "Settings".
- Under "Default" select "No, don’t use highlight styles" and then "No, don’t use italic highlight styles" as the best option. This will disable italicize names on Spotify.
Step 2: Use Markdown to Italicize Names
If you’re familiar with Markdown, you can use the syntax to italicize names on Spotify. Here’s an example:
John Doe
This will display the name in italics.
Alternatively, you can use HTML tags to achieve the same result:
John Doe
Step 3: Add Italicize CSS to Your Spotify Widget
If you want to italicize names in a more decorative way, you can add an italicize CSS to your Spotify widget. Here’s an example:
weakSelf {
color: #337ab7; /* primary color */
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; /* font family */
font-size: 24px; /* font size */
font-weight: 700; /* font weight */
text-decoration: italic; /* italics */
padding: 16px; /* padding */
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; /* bottom border */
border-radius: 0; /* no corner radius */
box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); /* box shadow */
}Make sure to include this CSS code in your HTML file or Spotify widget.
