Is it possible for the zoom microphone and camera buttons to show their current status?
Even when media function keys are disabled, PgUp and PgDown still don't work. Also, please add a persistent setting to disable toggling the AQT with the fn key.
Thanks for your help @DecafMountain0!
@Tim thank you so much for the encouragement!
A little bit on why that option is enabled, if you're interested:
It's not intended that the command and other modifiers switch the bar to AQT.. It's currently an issue with how bettertouchtool can implement the feature i desired:
The feature is modifier suggestions, They should only pop up when you hold down a modifier key and if the current app supports them, however it seems like all apps are hopping to AQT even if they don't have suggestions to show.
In any case disabling that checkbox should fix it up temporarily, just note that you might be missing out on that feature.
@Omoeba
I will see if I can reflect the mute/blind status, but zoom needs to give out something to read for me to do this.
Nice setting suggestions, I'll look into it!
Hi. Great app. I'm having a small issue though, I don't see any of the temp icons in gamemode. Only the battery shows up. Am I missing something? Thanks.
Hi @wesbar!
Those need the iStats helper to run. They previously had issues with catalina but it seems to be working after I checked just then
I'll been working on them for the next update as they don't have any mention of this install, but in the meantime you can try install it manually:
Open the terminal and type:
gem install iStats
followed with return
Should install automatically after that, see if the widgets start working

Hello,
can you please fix the Beats battery script? It does not work properly: it is shown in this way.
The correct battery % is 60, but it show also another number.
Thank you so much
@wesbar
try
sudo gem install iStats
Let me know how this goes. I've had trouble with it on catalina
@sacco
Would you mind helping me out with this?
Visit this thread I just made:
Fixing AQT's Bluetooth Widgets
Try follow this guide, specifically the one about "Gem Errors"
Careful to follow them closely and search up anything you doubt

I'm not too experienced with the Terminal so I bet that'll help more than I can. It appears II got mine working purely by chance after tearing several files and stuff apart
Running Mojave here. Getting an issue while trying to install Gem iStats for game mode widget that I don't have root permissions. Very strange since I have an admin account. Any recommendations?

Open "Script Editor" on your mac, and make a new document.
Put this script in and run, tell me what number shows up
if application "Spotify" is running then

After installing the latest BTT update I ran into the same issue as @platterfoot. I tried the script you posted and it returned "1". Also, now the "current song" is gone entirely on the Spotify app set.
song playing it returned 1, song paused it returned 5
