Don’t use other types of images in the Touch Bar, such as toolbar glyphs.ĭesign a custom symbol or image if you can’t find a system-defined one that meets your needs. Use only system images that are designed for the Touch Bar. When you choose an image for its meaning, your app can remain visually consistent with the system even if the appearance of the image changes. Use each system-defined glyph according to its meaning - not its appearance. Also, system-provided glyphs automatically receive appropriate coloring, respond to system white-point changes based on factors such as ambient light and keyboard backlight level, and respond to user interactions. Prefer system images because people are familiar with them.
In some cases, a symbol might not have the same size or alignment as the image it replaces, so it’s important to check your layout. IMPORTANT By default, the system APIs return SF symbols configured as 13 pt, large scale, and medium weight.
