Can I change the background color of the MacBook Pro touch bar programmatically (for my macOS app)? I am afraid that there is no API for doing that, but I am asking you anyway!

This is the best I can offer you as far as customization goes:

  • Add buttons to the Touch Bar within apps
  • Add buttons to the Touch Bar Control Strip
  • Remove Siri and other buttons from the Touch Bar Control Strip
  • Hide the Control Strip completely, maximizing Touch Bar app region
  • Hold down the FN key to show Expanded Control Strip, not function keys
  • Other transient Touch Bar customizations, hide QuickType typing suggestions
