GoldenChaos hides constantly and I have to click on "Your custom touchbar is currently hidden" in BTT to re-enable it. Is this normal behavior? ---

Definitely not normal, but I genuinely have no idea why that would be happening o\_O perhaps @Andreas_Hegenberg knows. ---

I am riding the struggle bus with GC enabled. My battery drains at a ridiculous rate. ![27%20AM](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/2X/5/58fd3bafe1d697da1808390043a6508f7b225d2e.jpeg) the AVG energy usage is never below 30 (whatever units thats being mesured in). Its so bad I have to disable BTT basically when I am not tethered to the power cord ☹ any thoughts? ---

Is this on the latest experimental version? If not, give it a shot - lots and lots of optimizations that aren't yet in the stable release. It's pretty stable so I recommend giving it a shot, I'm just working out the final features and polish! ---

Yes, sorry I didn’t mention this. I am on latest experimental for both GC and BTT. I have been carrying over my settings since last stable basically. I tried doing a full reset of GC yesterday and redid my settings but still nada and seeing the avg of 30 energy impact ---

## Audio AirPlay devices This is super easyCheck out the C3 version of [my preset](https://community.folivora.ai/t/caliguvara-c3-anki-flashcards-pomodoro-airplay-audio-and-much-more/6996), you'll find an "AirPlay" (Audio only) group there. The group opens through a button that displays the current output device, and if this is an AirPods Device displays the battery status in the line below. ![TouchBar%20model](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/2X/f/f6bae252941d8b20f24e2b2f3c9b81b9b4e5087b.jpeg) ![TouchBar%20model%202](https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/2X/5/5ffb711d04e923df5de68ba2f562425bd8b0ca5c.jpeg) > **The Script to find the connected device (used by myself to open the group)** > > ``` > --GET STORED NAME > > tell application "BetterTouchTool" > > --attempt to get variable > > try > > set LclAirPodsName to get_string_variable "AirPodsWg_DevceName" > > end try > > end tell > > --END GET STORED NAME > > set returnValue to {} > > tell application "iTunes" > > set AirPlayName to name of the first AirPlay device whose selected is true > > if AirPlayName contains LclAirPodsName then > > set returnValue to (AirPlayName & (checkBattery() of me)) as string > > else if AirPlayName contains "Computer" then > > set returnValue to (AirPlayName & (checkStatus() of me)) as string > > else > > set returnValue to AirPlayName > > end if > > return returnValue > > end tell > > on checkStatus() > > --GET STORED NAME > > tell application "BetterTouchTool" > > --attempt to get variable > > try > > set LclAirPodsName to get_string_variable "AirPodsWg_DevceName" > > end try > > end tell > > --END GET STORED NAME > > --set myString to button returned of (display dialog "Connected?" buttons {"Yes", "No"}) > > --set myString to "name: DR-BT101 Connected: " & myString > > (*uncomment line below when done testing*) > > set myString to do shell script "system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType" > > --initial check if it's not even there > > if myString does not contain LclAirPodsName then > > return " " > > else > > --find out if connected/disconnected > > set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "name:" > > set myList to the text items of myString --each item of mylist is now one of the devices > > set numberOfDevices to count of myList > > set counter to 1 > > repeat numberOfDevices times --loop through each devices checking for Connected string > > if item counter of myList contains LclAirPodsName then > > if item counter of myList contains "Connected: Yes" then > > return checkBattery() > > else if item counter of myList contains "Connected: No" then > > return " " > > else > > display dialog "Error Parsing" --this shouldn't happen > > end if > > end if > > set counter to counter + 1 > > end repeat > > end if > > end checkStatus > > on checkBattery() > > set OUTPUT1 to do shell script " > > OUTPUT1=''; > > BLUETOOTH_DEFAULTS=$(defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth); > > SYSTEM_PROFILER=$(system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType); > > MAC_ADDR=$(grep -b2 \"Minor Type: Headphones\"<<<\"${SYSTEM_PROFILER}\"|awk '/Address/{print $3}'); > > CONNECTED=$(grep -ia6 \"${MAC_ADDR}\"<<<\"${SYSTEM_PROFILER}\"|awk '/Connected: Yes/{print 1}'); > > BLUETOOTH_DATA=$(grep -ia6 '\"'\"${MAC_ADDR}\"'\"'<<<\"${BLUETOOTH_DEFAULTS}\"); > > BATTERY_LEVELS=(\"BatteryPercentCombined\" \"HeadsetBattery\" \"BatteryPercentSingle\" \"BatteryPercentRight\"); > > if [[\"${CONNECTED}\"]]; > > then > > for I in \"${BATTERY_LEVELS[@]}\"; > > do > > declare -x \"${I}\"=\"$(awk -v pat=\"${I}\" '$0~pat{gsub (\";\",\"\"); print $3}'<<<\"${BLUETOOTH_DATA}\")\"; > > [[!

Only bugger for now, I return a variable, not a string, so the Widget won't be able to tell you if several AirPlay Devices are connected.

Take a look into it! Would be happy to hear your opinion about it 🙂 * * * ## Mail Another question halfway OT - do you know a mail program that works with **apple script**?

If you paste the code for your widgets in a new thread in this subforum (you can title it "OmniFocus Support" or something similar), I'll tidy things up and add it to the next release! That also goes for anything else you'd like to contribute 🙂 I know it's not as simple as a pull request but it works, haha. ---

@wowthatisrandom will add this when I go through and update my badges with @yuuiko's improved handoff detection 🙂 @Dylan_Bertwell what @alex-w-k said! I'll add that one of the fundamental design principles of GC-BTT is that a keyboard's layout should be consistent and reliable, only changing with explicit user input (explicitly tapping the Touch Bar or using a keyboard shortcut). I think the constantly changing nature of the built-in Touch Bar is what makes it so infuriating to use, because it prevents you from developing muscle memory for the key positions.
