However, I cannot find any way to do this. I would like to register my application as an item to include here. , which shows a variety of things to drag-and-drop into the control strip. The control strip can be customized via System Preferences > Keyboard > Customize Control Strip. Somehow give my user a way to manually add my application to the control strip. However, strangely, I am told that there is no public API to manipulate the control strip. This would let the user hit my icon to adjust the opacity, even when other applications are focussed. Here are the ways I could make my application's touch bar visible, from most preferable to least preferable:Īdd an icon for my application to the control strip, next to the brightness and volume icons. The problem, I think, is that my application is a pure menu bar application with no windows. However, the touch bar disappears when focussing any other application, and there seems to be no way to bring my application's touch bar again. The bar appears when the application is first launched. I have added my NSTouchBar by subclassing NSApplication and implementing makeTouchBar. The slider in my application should act just like the brightness and volume sliders that are on the touch bar by default. I wish to move these controls to the touch bar, because the application is used for screen recordings, and distractions on the main screen would be recorded. The user is able to control the opacity of this overlay via a slider in the menu bar. I am making a macOS menu bar application which displays a fullscreen overlay.
