Feature to Customize the TouchBar about touchbardemoapp HOT 10 CLOSED

Hi @dieterdemeyer, this is already possible! Our app renders the real Touch Bar, so you can customize it just like the real one.

For most apps, there is now a "Customize Touch Bar..." option in the View menu. Also, in Preferences > Keyboard, there are options for what the Touch Bar shows by default and a button to customize the control strip.

My bad, I didn't even notice.
I'll definitely check it out.

Hi @FernandoMiguel, it's a bit different in each app, not all apps have the option.

Here's Safari:

@robbertkl Can you also remove items from the TouchBar ?
When following the steps described here, it doesn't seem to work.. Or does this work in a different way ?

from touchbardemoapp.

You can just drag items from the Touch Bar using your mouse. We don't control the inner workings of the Touch Bar, we're only making it visible and interactable on an iPad.

Could it perhaps be an issue when using the On-Screen TouchBar specifically and not the iPad TouchBar Client ?
I've been testing On-Screen TouchBar most of the time. When adding items, the on-screen touchbar disappears obviously to make room for the list of items you can choose from to add to the TouchBar.

You're right, that currently blocks the ability to customize it. We might add a permanent on-screen Touch Bar as well; we'll try to have that one stay on screen even in customization mode, if possible.

@dieterdemeyer The latest release (v1.3) fixes this. The on-screen Touch Bar will now stay on screen, even in customization mode.

Please note that you will still have to drag new buttons to the bottom of the screen, even if your on-screen Touch Bar is floating on the top of your screen, since macOS expects the Touch Bar to be below the display.
