Is there an easy way to convert/copy a Touch Bar widget into a near identical Floating Menu widget?

[Doa]

I love my Touch Bar but am facing the idea that one day in the next year or two I may need to upgrade from my 2018 MacBook Pro to something without a Touch Bar. It will be a sad day.

So, I would like to rebuild my Touch Bar as a floating menu along the bottom of my screen. I've made a start, but it's a very slow process. It's slow to switch back and forth between Touch Bar section and Floating Menus to copy info/icons over, plus it scrolls back to the top each time and collapses everything. It's very slow to readjust every new widget to the right configurations, which are really similar to the Touch Bar one, but set up in new ways. These days I have limited time in which I can spend typing before my arm rebels and starts hurting.

So far I've done part of my main view, but there are a lot of widgets and buttons that I only want to see if modifiers are pressed. I'll probably want to get rid of or change some, but a lot would be the same as the Touch Bar. Is there any way make this easier? Automate some or all of it at all? Or should I just be glad that it's not urgent and spend the next year or two doing it bit by bit?

Also, I'm having trouble convincing a Menu Item to change its name from that of the item it was copied from. ie. I made a Mail widget, copied/pasted it, changed the copy to a Messages widget. But the name refuses to change. I change it, save it, but as soon as I click away, it switches back.

You can open multiple BetterTouchTool windows to solve this.

Unfortunately there is no automated way to do so

I don't know how I managed to miss that I can open multiple windows. Thanks

And I guess I'll have to go with the slow and steady option to create the floating menu.

Oh! That made all the difference!

I've figured out how to change the icon colour using BTTMenuItemIconColor1, but is there a way to change the icon itself, using a file path like we can do for touchbar widgets? If not, could this be a feature one day?
