Menu Item appearance manipulation

[mkozjak]

What is the proper way to change Menu Item's background color when it gets clicked? Right now I'm running async applescript as the first Menu Item Trigger (where I manipulate BTTMenuItemBackgroundColor, BTTMenuItemBackgroundType...) but that feels too manual.

On click:

tell application "BetterTouchTool"
	update_menu_item "foo-bar" json "{BTTMenuItemBackgroundColor: '17, 107, 255', BTTMenuItemBackgroundColorDark: '17, 107, 255', BTTMenuItemBackgroundType: 4, BTTMenuItemBackgroundTypeDark: 4 }"
end tell

that's currently the correct / only way. (also see Changing color of a button? - #19 by Andreas_Hegenberg)

However I'm working on an action which also will allow to update a menu item's properties, it will come with the same UI as for configuring a menu item. Soon!

@mkozjak That chatgpt/bard/bing setup you've got looks freaking sweet! Any chance you'd be willing to share? Just learning about all this stuff.
