Important Notes 🚨

• Its only tested on macbook pro with toucbar. Please post any quirks here

• App Launcher buttons will work in both ways. It will quit apps if already running or it will launch app if its not running.

• Customize predefined apps for App Launchers for your needs. Go Control Center settings pane, click "Open Scripts Folder" in general tab then find related file and replace app names in Applescript file

• Airplane mode doesnt disable GPS module. I'm not sure is that necessary

• Please use Move files function wisely even in finder. Dont try to move big folders with that

• Please install external apps at your own risk

Future Plans

• Planning to add these functions; resize images, convert images, compress with options, merge pdf files, pdf options, clipboard share

• Show Hide options in MCC settings for icons

• Right click on brightness slider will switch to external brightness slider

• Slideout animation for closing floating web view window

• Dashboard like MCC widget for desktop (It uses too much resources on tests. Not sure to add next updates)

• Support for ethernet connections

• Like button for itunes, apple music, spotify ...

• Album artwork support

• More Dynamic Icons

• Improved support for web streaming services ( Let me know if your service not showing properly)

Known Issues

• Brightness slider showing 0 value when external monitor connected but you can change value of built in display

• Control Center frezing when you do quick swipe gestures or mouse scrolls. It also related with BTT gesture sensivity settings

• Copy paste not working on applescripts with dialog box (Remind Me and Color Picker). it can be solve with using app bundles instead of applescript files but i didnt add app bundles to releases because of privacy concerns, i want to keep all code open source. If you need copy-paste functions on these scripts save applescript files as app bundle then change file name in html file

• Some apps stealing focus from Control Center. This causes 2 clicks on some toggles to activate. Macs Fan Control App and Airplay Toggle

[gabester46]

holy crap this is amazing. can't wait

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

This looks really amazing, and is exactly what I had in mind when I added the floating HTML/Webview action a year ago - but I'm not good enough at design stuff to create something like this myself

I'm currently working on exposing more of the internal BTT APIs to the floating webview, so things like changing screen brightness or volume can be done using such a slider.
If you need any help or encounter things that you would need from BTT, please let me know.

[yw4z]

Actually im planing ask you for btt api, because i installed this for brightness and fans started running like jet i will upload bundle tomorrow, all functions working but too much cpu usage atm

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

The latest alpha adds two new variables that can be set and retrieved using get_number_variable and set_number_variable methods:

OutputVolume
BuiltInDisplayBrightness

[yw4z]

perfect timing

MacOS Control Center - MCC.bttcompressedpresetbundle (54.1 KB)

(For who planing to install this, Its only for test purposes don't install for daily use)

I will try them tomorrow i hope they will work better,

also i try new btt trigger links but didnt worked in mcc

<bt href="bttweb://trigger_named/?trigger_name=mccprev"><img id=back src="presetfile://MCC/MCT_B.png" width="56" height="38" draggable="false"><bt>

what im doin wrong

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

I will test tomorrow, going to sleep now!

About the bttweb links: what is a bt tag? I think href is only supported on tags, or am I wrong?

[yw4z]

<a          class=bt
            href="bttweb://trigger_named/?trigger_name=mccprev"
><img       id=back 
            src="presetfile://MCC/MCT_B.png" width="56" height="38" draggable="false">
</a>

i tried like this but, link is working now but its closing floating window even without closeFloatingHTMLMenu: 1

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

ah that’s probably a bug, I’ll have a look!

[yw4z]

I tried with

bttweb://trigger_named/?trigger_name=mccprev&closeFloatingHTMLMenu=0
bttweb://trigger_named/?trigger_name=mccprev&closeFloatingHTMLMenu=2

but same result

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

Should be fixed in the new alpha I think!

[yw4z]

thanks Andreas preset working great, sliders are much more smooth now, i will share new preset after some cleanup

any way to get now playing or setup external monitor brighness from btt ?

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

External brightness will change if you hold ctrl while moving the slider

You can use this variable to see whether it's currently playing: BTTCurrentlyPlaying, but at the moment there is no way to get the name of the song. I can expose that information with the next alpha. You can also always add some Apple or Shell Script to BTT that returns the value you want to the web view.

[yw4z]

i have a working script in mcc atm but its asking beardedspice & itunes, but i can see same title in now playing widget. im trying to use less external apps for mcc.

how it knows i press ctrl in floating view? actually im planing to change slider to external brightness when i right click on it

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

The brightness change actions in BTT all switch to external brightness when holding ctrl (because that's also what macOS does with the keyboard brightness button). There is however no functionality in BTT to just get the external brightness or set it manually.

If you post the latest version of your preset I can add a performant way to get the now playing info from BTT to it later today.

[yw4z]

here

MacOS Control Center - MCC.bttcompressedpresetbundle (57.9 KB)

also i cant get built in brightness when external monitor connected, but didnt check what causing yet

[gabester46]

what is this "shared secret" it keeps telling me to input

[yw4z]

im not sure why its asking, shared secret is a btt feature for scripting. this project still work in progress, please wait for a stable release

[yw4z]

@Andreas_Hegenberg is that possible to add animations before closing window

i did it with onclick events

function rcbt(){
document.body.classList.add("slideOutUp");
setTimeout(function(){window.location.href = "bttweb://trigger_named/?trigger_name=mccrcbt&closeFloatingHTMLMenu=1"}, 200);
};

a global setting would be nice, i can change all links with closeFloatingHTMLMenu but still cant add an animation to "close when clicking outside"

[Andreas_Hegenberg]

Unfortunately I can't change this as the "click outside" will immediately hide the window. There is no time for an animation there. It's a technical limitation with how the click outside is intercepted.

Btw.: I was quite busy the last few days, I will add the now playing support later today!
