Would be nice to, you know, give your macbook some personal expression.
Simple Implementation
This one is less powerful but would be much easier to operate.
Put a new panel under General TouchBar Settings, which contains an image well and sizing options.
Powerful Implementation:
Ability to change the icon based on Conditional Activation Groups, and App Groups
BTT will show the app icon or an icon that was set per-app if the BTT bar is closed. It's like showing what will popup on the control strip icon before you press it.
could be implemented like:
Custom icon for all apps can be set in global.
Add a new dropdown sheet that you can call from right click (like conditional activation groups, but for apps and global)
The contents of this sheet:
Use Global Icon | Use Custom Per-App icon
App Name
App Icon
A section named “BTT Button for this App”
Use custom icon checkbox
An image well with sizing options in a panel similar to conditional activation groups,
“Use Applescript for Icon” button that opens up an editor. The BTT button becomes an applescript widget that only displays an icon, essentially.
“Trigger Named Trigger on Hold Control Strip BTT button for This App / Global” (mouthful i know)
Real Use:
As an example, I would like to show in the BTT icon that or if the frontmost app is supported by my public "AquaTouch" preset. e.g. I'd set the BTT icon for Safari to a blue BTT icon, while global would be set to the normal BTT icon.
It will soon be possible to customize the control strip icon like any other button, so you will be able to change icon & function. (Probably sometime next week)
May I also add the ability to change the icon based on conditional activation groups?
e.g. if an app is set in BTT, the icon changes to (the app icon or whatever you want)

@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 still in testing phase so it may be buggy. 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!
AQTv3 will only be released when these new BTT features are released in it's stable release.
You've probably already seen this reply 3 times XD
EDIT: I can't seem to update to the alpha. It's returning an "Update Error!" window
