I'll work on it! Sorry for the inconvenience. In the meantime, just press Left Ctrl + Right Click and unload the skin. You can fix things in the Settings skin.

I assume it wouldn't be possible to have the music player be integrated with Google Play Music, correct?

Apollo and Google Play Music can work with any music player that is supported by Rainmeter. In the navigation bar, press menu > Settings > General to set it up.
