Fix touchbar when not focus on the app

[johnvuko]

Hi,
maybe I don't know how to use the touchbar, but when I focus on another app, the items in the touchbar disappear, and of course I would like to have the price always displayed.
Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks.

I've been looking into alternatives to this, the apple documentation states:
"On supported MacBook Pro models, the Touch Bar, above the keyboard, shows instances of the NSTouch​Bar class from the front-most app."

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nstouchbar

An option I'm considering is when a button is pressed bringing the app into focus.

But if the button is visible the app is already on focus, no?
I tough it may be a limitation from Apple, maybe you can do something like Spotify, there is a button in the control strip zone.

I meant a keyboard button(or combination of) rather than a touchbar button to bring it into focus. Hmm I'll look into that, I didn't realise Spotify had a control strip button.

The button appear only when you listen a music, maybe it's only for player.

There are other apps on the market that run in the "background"...

This app doesn't seem to offer that function at the moment, maybe creator can add this

This app is the only open source work that I've identified that can add new content to the touch bar when not in focus. This is not a feature that can currently be supported with Electron.
