Hi everyone. Hope everyone is doing great. I do have the new 16 inches Macbook Pro with touchbar.and a tutorial in how to customize the touchbar will be helpful. I need to learn how to do that. I will definitely get it Mr. Panarese if you create one. I really want to know how to customize it, but I don’t know where to start or how to begin doing so. If you guys have any suggestions will really appreciate it. I’m totally blind and I rely on Voiceover only. Look forward to hear from you soon. Thanks so much for your time!
