QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS—————————————————
All old AQT control strips should now be updated to the new one.
(remember the one with the green BTT icon, replicated expanded control strip and play button?)
Thanks to Andreas for the loong awaited new feature that let me add the control strip to all groups automatically!
If you see an old AQT control strip hiding somewhere, or a new AQT control strip somewhere it’s not meant to be, please let me know and tell me where it is!
The features used to make this happen are very experimental and may break, resulting in annoyance at your end if it does. Please report any issues with the control strip as this makes it easier for me and @AndreasHegenberg to debug.
Escape keys should now be fixed
- They should update to your preference now.
Play Button Highlighting
- Should now more stably show for global non-iTunes apps. I needed a now playing widget in there for it to work properly, so I added it though it’s invisible. It now turns blue properly, when any media is playing.
Schedule Mode Highlighting in the CS
- It didn’t follow the ‘on calendar / on reminder’ options in the settings before, now it does.
DND, Dark Mode and MicMute Toggles
- Now start with a striped Icon which shows they are loading. (May be slow to indicate their states)
Startup
- Widgets starting up have been refined. AQT now feels less gimicky, especially on startup as the notification badges while loading have been refined and neatened up.
GameMode
- Time widget should use system time now
Auto Setup
- Notifications improved
- Settings automatically set when pressing the instructions button now
Update Alerts within AQT!
- The "Welcome to AQT white welcom message" will now alert you to new updates when they become available!
General Layout touchups and Optimisation
- Making your AQT experience more polished, more responsive and feeling smoother to use.
TO BE MAYBE ADDED—————————————————
I have yet to implement these, they are very likley maybes.
Dynamic Preview
A replacement set for preview that knows the type of document open (e.g. document or image) and shows relevant controls (e.g. you wouldn't crop a pdf)
Finder Bookmarks
An array of cells that allow you to set a favourate location, then tap to quickly open a window to that location
Refined Calendar Widget
An option to set the outside calendar widget will show your next claendar item rather than your current calendar event @Sem_Jalapeno
I think i should take a look at Fantastical Cal
Yeah. New replacement set?
Web Widgets for Google Chrome
A Maybe. I still want to get the SF widgets perfected as they're all a bit messy. I'd like to clean them up and get them working to stability and quality before this happens.
Better AirPods Widget
This is in construction and will be merged once it's stable.
Daring testers wanted!
If you have airpods, some experience with applescript and are willing to mess up BTT or possibly your computer, Visit to help us get this stable here! :
