Well, when I use the word crash, it means AQT is crashing, and the original TB comes back.
For Chrome, I am talking about the left panel when you have the Apps Menu open. The Left Panel shows the active apps, and so if I go on Chrome from there, it crashs.
@Simon_Defarge,
Ah, in that case AQT is not crashing rather it's closing to let you use the native touchbar sets.
I'm unfamiliar with chrome since I rarely use it, so could you maybe attach a screenshot of the menu that is giving you problems? I'd really like to fix it!
So if I press the closing button, it will crash AQT.
Also, I noticed that sometimes the bar disappear for "no reason", what I mean is I don't really pay attention to what I am doing that could make it crash... I don't have the feeling to make anything wrong, but then the AQT is gone and I am back on the original TB... Is that a common issue ?
You have entered quit mode (you can see the orange 'tap to quit' label on the left side of your screenshot.) Quit mode is activated by holding command, and allows you to quit apps easily. This may be the reason why you're seeing chrome 'crash', it's actually the quit mode quitting the app. Instead, if you want to use the app switcher, just tap the apps while you see:
Of course, if you still have problems then keep giving me details!
Ah the widget. I did look into it and I found that that specific x button is not wired up properly. I've fixed this and will release the fix with b3.3.0.
Some apps cause AQT to automatically close to make way for the app's native TouchBar. I need to know very specific details for this one (e.g. What where you doing the moment that it closed unexpectedly, what did the bar show right before it closed? What app did you switch to, etc.) to determine if it was a designed close or a bugged close.
Yes it's because to take the TB screenshot I need to hold Shift + Command + 6, but when it crashes it's not because I am on Quit Mode.
Ok, I will try to pay attention to what I did haha Because honestly I don't even notice it, it's when I need the TB again that I realize that AQT has disappear and that the Native TB is back. I will try to determinate in which cases this is happening.
Thanks again for the time and efforts you are putting in this project

âââââCHANGELOG b3.3.0 (so far)
Version Numbers are reformatted. b3.3.0
b0.0.0 - 'beta' (experimental, cutting-edge build. May be usable but might not be stable)
v0.0.0 - 'version' (stable afaik, officially released)
X.0.0 - Radical Change
0.X.0 - New App Support
0.0.X - Bugfix / Layout refinements only
It's messy and I'm not sure how to fix it, on top of that you can't scroll over to see the other widget thing (so you can only tap on play to open music widget).
In fact now that I tried it, it the same for a fair amount of app:
You can't scroll the widget selection thing and there are 2 close button.
I wasn't able to reproduce it but sometime there are like weird buttons show behind the esc buttons too (it's like the ESC button lay on top of other one)
Default Set: The TouchBar layout provided by the app developers Full Set: These always show for you and replace default sets. They do not hide to allow you to use the app's default set. Extension Set: These focus on the default set provided by app developers. They provide additional actions but isn't intended to always-show. It's more like a quick actions popup.
In the next update b3.3.0, Chrome will be updated to be a 'full set', meaning a replacement UI. It doesn't close anymore and stays on for you to use.
You can see a preview of it here:
I'm not sure how do I set up game mode, I have both preset downloaded, but when I switch back and forth from Option -> Enable Game Mode or the other way around, it seem like BTT just disable both AQT and AQT Game Mode.
@jacquelinett,
I see a potential bug here, what way are you trying to call GameMode? - please be specific e.g. from what app menu so I can pin down the cause. Thanks!
I usually switch to gamemode via the control strip apps menu on v3, although i do admit itâs a feature I rarley use myself and it hasnât been updated for a long time.
I entirley forgot that there where other ways of getting the gamemode button to show up (e.g. your âhold optionâ) so maybe those methods arenât updated for v3.
Try using the buttion in the apps menu and see how that goes.
This is great! Two things, in your v3 beta, the prerequisite terminal fan controls installs for Game Mode won't install on Mojave. Also is there an easy way to swap all shortcuts for Safari to Chrome?
Could you please provide more detail on the fan controls issue? I'm running mojave and it seems to operate fine, though I didn't initially install it on mojave.
Chrome is having an overhaul in the next version. I don't aim to bring safari widgets to other browsers in the next version, as my list is quite busy, but maybe in the next version.
Thanks for your support!
Notice for Everyone using AquaTouch v3
@Andreas_Hegenberg has rolled out some much awaited BTT features that i've been longing to implement into AQT.
These features will add further quality improvements and bug fixes, but will require you to update using BTT's Alpha release stream.
BTT's alpha versions are also still in testing phase so it may add a bit more bugs. AQTv3 is also in testing phase too, so I guess we could all come together to help Andreas solve any bugs with the new features. More people = more tests!
The final version of AQTv3 will only be released when these new BTT features are released in it's stable release.
Not much new features, but AQT is now MUCH more smoother to operate. I collaborated and discussed various BTT features and refinements with @Andreas_Hegenberg, funnily enough; to get BTT to support AQT. Though there might still be some bugs with the new feature, I can definitley say that AQT is way more fluid and stable due to his new changes. Head to the 'Quality Improvements' to see a list of these improvements.
DOWNLOAD This update requires you to update BTT to v2.667 to update! Enable 'Update to Alpha Builds' in the BTT Advanced Settings.
b0.0.0 - indicates that it is a beta. Betas are stable enough to be used daily but may have some bugs and incomlpete features that might not work. Itâs the cutting edge version that is quite experimental.
v0.0.0 indicates a final stable (afaik) build.
X.0.0 - indicates a major redesign in the way AQT works.
0.X.0 - indicates new app support and new features
0.0.X - indicates a bugfix/hotfix release that fixes reported bugs.
added âTopâ, âSideâ, âFrontâ Labels (kind of messy imo, will clean up next version) (@kalmdown)
Fixed duplicate âblenderâ and âBlenderâ app group
Quality Improvements (requires the new features in BTT alpha v2.667, thanks to @Andreas_Hegenberg!)
Notification widgets react to DND. They won't show up when you enable DND, but will come back no problem when you switch off DND. (@GoldenChaos)
AQT logo is now in the control strip. It changes based on the type of set. (new BTT Alpha feature - buggy)
Full on: Full Set -
Arrow: Extension set -
Grey: No Support (gesture bar) -
Refined the âclose btt barâ cosmetics for extension sets.
New Play Button Handling. Doesn't look so refined at the moment but it works better than the previous applescript iteration. (new BTT Alpha feature - may not be stable)
The setup window now has a window bezel. You can now move it around, minimise, etc. (new BTT Alpha feature - may not be stable)
AQT should not open mixed with the macOS Control Strip anymore (new BTT Alpha feature - buggy) (@Dom)
Notification Badges, Control Strip and Escape keys shouldnât get misplaced anymore with the addition of BTT's new 'Display Order' function.
Control Strip Highlighting is now visible when the CS is open.
Fixes:
Setup and welcome should appear on BTTâs Setapp Version now. (@pauxus)
Spotify NP widget closed the entire control strip instead of returning to the now playing widgets - fixed (@Simon_Defarge)
The spacing for Notification Bubbles have been fixed and refined. (mostly)
let me first say thanks for your hard work! I'm just a few months on BTT and switched 2 weeks ago from GoldenChaos to your 3.2.beta .. took me a few days to get used to but the separate app controls are really nice! ..
just updated to 3.3 and aside better switching between apple nav and BTT nav a lot indeed has improved.
couple things I noticed right away:
In safari on a non-custom website (with restore last closed / ready later emoji) there are 2 escape keys next to each other.. and the (X) left or restore last closed is redundant with the new collapse button (>) on the main AQT interface (edit: Just noticed this also happens in my mail app )
I don't have school at 8.15 nor have math excercise 2C coming up in my calendar
Play pause button works with Netflix (safari) in now playing. it says " no supported apps playing currently" though and because I play it in safari i would expect a safari > button next to the safari toolbar.
