Notes

Some elements may have broken for MacOS versions earlier than Catalina.

Bluetooth connection widgets are a known issue and will be a focus in the next update.

Auto-Hide Escape key on install has been implemented but doesn't seem to be working. If you have a 16" MBP head to the settings to hide your escape key if it doesn't work.

What's New

Compatibility

Reminders and Calendar Widgets
The Quick calendar and reminders widgets have been converted to use BTT's native method instead of iCalBuddy.

I'm slowly decreasing reliance on iCalBuddy however the QuickStrip icon highlight still needs iCalBuddy to operate for now.

• Reminders now working
• Faster performance
• More energy efficient
• More information

Improvements

New AquaTouch Settings and Preferences System

• New settings for toggling Notification Badges! You can now easily toggle notification badges, and it also saves across updates!

This requires a more lengthy update process though, so the auto-update progress will be displayed in the AQT status display, or "welcome" display if you've been using AQT for a while.

Efficiency Improvements

• AQT's new settings system uses a different widget switching method so that it would be more efficient in runtime.

• Optimise Haptics Engine - Should now be a lot more responsive and energy efficient. (They're now passive and don't check the database every time it knocks, it now just checks when the user changes the setting)

• Optimise the Escape Key - (They're now passive and don't check database every 5 seconds)

Weather Widget
Tapping any weather widget will bring up DarkSky in the web browser for more details.

GameMode

GameMode is now intergrated into AQT!
No more shuffling two presets.

* Documentation will be improved.

Bug Fixes

• Album art for Music is now working again (boy this was a hard one to fix), Also move sync tools to Finder due to Catalina.
• Notification Badges should now be aligned properly (again).
• "New Update" alerts should now be live again.
• Fixed a bug that may cause the QuickPlay button to disappear.
