If you want to explore the possibilities for yourself, Apple’s dev site shows us a variety of clues and visual design examples.ĭenis Rybin’s example looks kind of cool, although it’s displaying the color interface alongside boolean operations, where in fact the Touch Bar would probably show tools that are contextual to what the user is trying to do. Sketch/Touch Bar Concepts From the Design Communityĭesigners have been mocking up their own Touch Bar concepts on Dribbble, and speculating the possibilities on Designer News and various blog comment threads, leading me to think that Apple’s secretive stance on this is no accident. Some clever detectives noticed that Apple’s developer webpage shows an example of how Sketch will integrate with the Touch Bar to improve the color interface ( selecting gradient types, the eyedropper tool, the color mixer, global colors, et cetera), which has led many designers to wonder what else Apple has in store for us. Is this a clever ruse to get people whispering? Lets have a look. According to Apple’s Touch Bar demo, it seems that it will help Photoshop users access tools that are usually hidden away deep inside the menu, use sliders to adjust exposure and manipulate colours, and so on.īut there wasn’t much information on that either.

Microsoft have confirmed that both Office 365 and Skype will support the new Touch Bar, but didn’t say much else. Photoshop and Sketch Will Support the Touch Bar
