[Google Music]: http://music.google.com/
[nw.js]: https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js

## Requirements
- [nw.js>=0.11.0][nw.js] or greater
- [npm][], usually installed with [node][]
- [Adobe Flash][], see http://music.google.com/ for dependency information

[npm]: http://npmjs.org/
[node]: http://nodejs.org/

## Getting Started
In a shell, run the following commands:

### Music won't play
If the music seems to attempt to load indefinitely, then there might be a codec issue. By default, [nw.js][] does not come bundled with an MPEG decoder. To remedy the issue, follow the steps in the wiki:

[https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/wiki/Using-MP3-&-MP4-%28H.264%29-using-the--video--&--audio--tags.](https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js/wiki/Using-MP3-&-MP4-%28H.264%29-using-the--video--&--audio--tags.)

#### Running without a terminal
For running `google-music-webkit` without a terminal, start via `screen`. Once it has launched, the terminal can be closed without exiting the application.

```bash
screen nw .
```

##### Gnome installation
If you are on Gnome/Cinnamon, you can use `./install-gnome.sh` to add the application to your menu.

```bash
./install-gnome.sh
# Google Music Webkit successfully installed!
```

## Documentation
### Icons
Source images are kept in the `resources/` folder. Icons are maintained via Inkscape and the `play/pause` buttons are isolated in layers.

To generate icons:

1. Export each of the play/pause/clean variants as a `.svg` file
2. Load the icons via GIMP as a 32x32 SVG
3. Export via GIMP as a `.png`

At the time of writing, Inkscape and Image Magick seemed to be generating non-transparent backgrounds upon converting SVG to PNG.

## Contributing
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint via [grunt](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt) and test via `npm test`.
