They get to make the Touch Bar work with Windows 10

MacBook keyboard

Since Apple renewed the MacBook Pro range in 2016, the Touch Bar, one of its main attractions, and whose option considerably raised the price of the model to choose, many are the users who they have not finished seeing a real utility to that touch screen that replaces the top row of the traditional keyboard on Macs.

As the years have passed, many are the applications that have been adapted to offer direct shortcuts to some of the functions most used by users. But if in addition to macOS, we make use of Windows, and we have gotten used to the Touch Bar, we have always encountered the problem of compatibility. At least until now.

Touch Bar Windows 10

The developer Sunshine Biscuit has posted on his Twitter account (@imbushuo) an image of his MacBook using Windows and where we can see how the Touch Bar shows us the same information that we can find on the taskbar. While is true that It does not offer us the same versatility as with compatible applications in macOS, for something one starts.

This compatibility, in addition, allows us to remove the taskbar from the main screen in order to enjoy more screen space. According to Sunshine, the operation of the Touch Bar is like that of a USB and offers us different configurations.

The default configuration offers us a USBHID keyboard with hotkeys, while the second configuration offers us a digitizer that we can customize to display the information we need or want.

The developer makes the necessary software available to us to be able to use the Touch Bar through your GitHub account to which we can access directly from this link. Obviously, behind this project is not Apple, since if it did, since the launch of the MacBook Pro in 2016 with Touch Bar it would have offered support for Windows users.
