This past fall, Apple announced an overhaul of their MacBook Pro line of laptop computers. The overhaul included the usual faster-thinner-lighter mantra that we have all grown accustomed to with new hardware upgrades. They even dumped the glowing Apple logo on the back of the clam-shell lid. Instead, it now has a shiny version\u2014similar to what Apple puts on their iPads and iPhones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE REIGN OF THE TOUCH BAR<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The highlight from the list of improvements was the introduction of what Apple is calling the Touch Bar<\/strong>. It is a long and thin digital screen that runs along the top of the keyboard and replaces the traditional row of F keys (function keys) that typically use this space on a keyboard. The genius of this screen is that it is touch sensitive and operates like the F keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even more exciting are the infinite tasks this glowing strip of glass is ready to take on. For example, when playing a video, the Touch Bar can jump to any position in the video without needing to toggle the controls on the screen, move the mouse to the tracking bar, seek the new location and toggle the controls back off. With this new feature, just drag the control to any position to instantly change the position in your video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the strengths of the new Touch Bar is that Apple leaves it up to the app developer to decide what shows on this screen. Unleashing the power of the Touch Bar requires app updates to make use of the functionality with this new feature. We are excited to announce that the latest version of the Mac Olive Tree Bible App now supports this! We thoughtfully considered what functionality on the Touch Bar would increase productivity and added it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Mac Olive Tree Bible App!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The figure above shows the buttons we added to the top level Touch Bar. From left to right, we added this functionality: history back, history forward, Go To, Search, increase font size, decrease font size and margin control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are other areas of the app that use the Touch Bar as well. For example, you can use this bar to add a note or highlight to selected text. When editing a note, you will find some useful actions on the Touch Bar such as changing the note’s category or adding a tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have one of the new MacBook Pros, be sure to try the new features, and let us know what you think. We are always open to suggestions and feedback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
