BetterTouchTool makes TouchBar an absolutely killer feature

[Uofmtiger]

I went ahead and paid for it. As I said above, I have it set to open all of my favorite apps, have it set to hit a button to go back the desktop, have it set to open my Alfred Search engine, etc. It is very useful for my needs.

This software seems like it really takes advantage of the touch bar.

It does. It has tons of different options, so you can customize it as you please. You even add the icons you want to use.

I used it to customize the touchbar in all my programming apps. Here is a screen shot of it when I'm using PyCharm.
It has, undo, redo, find all uses, run, debug, stop, go to the definition, format code, and comment. Then in my </> Code submenu I have it so I can insert an if statement, or a for loop etc..

I also use the same for IntelliJ and Android Studio except the only difference is the comment button and the code insert for if statements etc.. since the syntax is different between Java and Python

So since your able to create your own icons for the touch bar will that increase the resolution on the icons or does it still suffer the lower res like the standard icons? That pic you attached looks like higher res than the standard ones.

Mine? I just found icons on an icon site and used them. I got most of them from here: http://www.iconarchive.com/

I did customize the debugging one taking the play icon and copying a bug icon on top of it in gimp photo editor.

Do you by chance know the size photos need to be used as an icon? Was hoping to use some dog icons.

Most on that site seem to be 512 x 512 pngs. I think only one or two of the ones I used were a little smaller though but most of them were 512 X 512

Personally, I used whatever I liked on Google images. The app must do the resizing.

Ooh, mind sharing your touch bar photo? Curious on how regular photos come out.
