Touch Bar¶
Acorn offers touch bar options for the MacBook Pro if you are running OS 10.12.2 or later. You can learn more about the touch bar here. Select your tool and the various touch bar options for that tool will be displayed. The options for each touch bar display are listed below, going from left to right across the bar. The esc key on the far left is present for all tools.
