BarModifier

Making special changes to your app's icon

By default, your app is designed to open a dropdown menu containing your app or just be a simple button in the bar, but depending on how you want your app to work, you might want your app button in the Top Bar to have multiple icons, each with their own unique action when clicked, or display text, change color, or even change the settings of the bar itself, or any combination of these and more.

BarModifier.inc will allow you to make modification to the code of the top bar, including the button of your app and how it behaves. In your app folder, you will have a folder called BarModifier. Inside, you will find BarModifier.inc.

To make more advanced changes to BarModifier, it's recommended you take a look at some other apps other users have already made, copy the code to your BarModifier file, and make any adjustments you choose from there. For example, if you want to have an app that displays multiple icons in the bar, see the BarModifier.inc file for the Functions app.
