🆕 [v3.6.10] – AquaTouch – The Powerful Touch Bar Redesign.

[yuuiko]

Welcome to AquaTouch v3.6.

9 to 5 for 2 weeks straight.*

It's the small things that make up the best things.
I've spent an unreasonable amount of time fixing up the prior patched-together state of AquaTouch.

With a refreshed expectation for the highest quality, efficiency and stability, many features have been fixed so hard they've become something entirely new!

Fine-tooth comb refinement has smoothed out and improved many details both big and small, to push AquaTouch even further to .

*(Just ask my discord ping squad.)

New Features that turn it up to 11.

New Discord Controls

Includes new server jump shortcuts and a "detachable" mini-menu that allows you to control your mic from anywhere!

Massive, completely redesigned Photoshop Controls

Connectivity Controls That Beat All Other AirPods Presets. (oooof )

All-new bluetooth widgets in which you can assign any bluetooth device with an awesome list selection UI, AND it even reports battery status for AirPods, Beats, and Apple Mice, Keyboards and Trackpads!

Centralised Emoji Controls.

With Kaomoji and Emote slots for you to save your favourite text expressions!

Clipboard Manager.

Lost that massive paragraph you cut forever? Not anymore!

Volume Slider for YouTube.

Control that compilation while you're in that work/study-from-home call!

Sidecar Toggle.

Quickly fling over to your iPad with this Sidecar button!

Overhauled Stability

Web Controls have been completely re-written.

They will now stay open, switch between different website controls and will even automatically come back after you switch to another app!

Don't ask how I got this to work.

QuickStrip will now properly Lock Open.

You love using the dock in QuickApps? Or maybe you prefer to always see your playing media?

When you open the QuickStrip, it will now stay open. Switch Apps, Watch a movie, slide between desktops, whatever you do, the QuickStrip will now stay put when you open it.

More Stability Improvements

Show

Web Youtube

• YouTube Controls can now handle zeroes, quotes and '&'s more stable
• Picture in Picture now targets the button from the toolbar, which should make it activate more stably.

Startup and Settings

• AquaTouch's initialisation scripts have been optimised and should not grind BTT to a halt anymore. it also sets itself up much, much faster.
• New Settings UI design with categorised settings
• Manuals have been proofread and re-written. They also use images stored within the preset, so if you have no internet they'll still show!

Pinned Widgets

• Pinned Widgets such as 1Keyboard and Discord now run on Conditional Activation Groups, they won't show up or run in the background if the app is not open.

QuickApps, QuickPlay

• QuickApps and QuickPlay now send keyboard shortcuts directly to the app, reducing chances of misfire
• QuickApps - More scrolling space for app shortcuts.

Apple Music

• Add to library button fixed
• Sliders should be more stable
• Current Song display should not flicker when paused anymore

Web Controls

• Web Controls should no longer fall apart when using chrome
• The back buttons shouldn't disappear anymore and cause you to be stuck into using them.

Web Twitch

• Refined icons, added "Make Clip" and PiP button

Netflix

• Netflix QuickMedia Widget now actually works (i finally have access to it).

Greatly Improved Performance

Redoing code with Javascript and BTT APIs

Many of AquaTouch's previously power-hungry Apple Script checks have been converted to now use Javascript and BTT APIs!

AquaTouch now idles at 3% (down from 6% in earlier versions), can run with just two AppleScript runners and continues to remove large CPU usage spikes!

AquaTouch idling on BetterTouchTool Forums in Safari (web controls are running)

The above was recorded with all notification badges turned on and running! Previously, this would cause the CPU to constantly clock at maximum speed. Here see them all trying to load at once:

Behaviour Changes

Show

As various features have improved and upgraded, some actions have been changed:

• Functionality for Facebook Messenger Clients Caprine, Chatty and Goofy have been removed in favour of the official messenger client for MacOS, which can be found on the App Store.

• With the introduction of the new connectivity view with bluetooth widgets, QuickStrip hold actions have changed:

• Holding QuickControls instantly opens the connectivity widgets.

• Holding calendar now toggles Do not Disturb instead of opening notification centre.
  To access notification centre quickly, see [System Preferences → Trackpad] and use the trackpad gesture. To access Siri quickly, see [System Preferences → Siri] to use one of the keyboard shortcuts such as "hold command-space".
