very weird, the system must have done some automatic coloring then at some point.

I'll look into this, maybe I can figure out a good way to programatically change the color for these icons. For now I'd recommend to change the color of the icon manually.

"change the color of the icon manually" ?

Did you mean color it using photoshop, or programmatically?

@Andreas_Hegenberg is there a way to implement the way the application pock shows current selected app just like the dock?

Check out the dock widget inside BetterTouchTool! If I get you right you should find everything you wish for there, including the running indicator dots 🙂

@Andreas_Hegenberg

I'm just discovering the menubar item function this evening, but it won't show up for some reason ☹ is there a doc somewhere? macOS 10.14.6

yes sorry, had to pull that apple silicone BTT update because I’m not sure whether I’m allowed to publish that just yet 🙂

Not sure when this started, but running current v.3.550.

1. Select Button Icon from config panel.
2. Opens built in "icon chooser".
3. Press **From Disk** button, and the entire screen UI shifts to the right off my screen and "finder file chooser" is attached to bottom right and not easily usable unless you move UI.

interesting, maybe this is caused by a macOS update as BTT let's the system choose where to display the File Chooser. I'll have a look.

File Chooser is anchored into position, not moveable.

Thanks, you fixed this in 3.551 update today. (File Chooser is anchored into position, not moveable.)

yep I now stuck it to the main window instead of the popover (but I think the issue was caused by a macOS bug because usually the OS makes sure these dialogs stay visible - I’ll report it to Apple)

Updating to 3.6.12 with a `Caps Lock > Hyper key` trigger and my whole keyboard stops working (technically I think it thinks hyper key is permanently pressed, as if I press t then I get an equivalent trigger as hyper-t. If I disable the `Caps Lock > Hyper key` trigger and restart BTT then my keyboard is back to normal...

edit: sorry I updating using "check for alpha versions" but it seems 3.6.12 is actually a stable version, so this is the wrong thread I think...

is it possible to create a widget from an app that's on our laptop?

Also being able to add those widgets in our notification center. The notification center barely has any good widgets even from great apps and it's annoying.
