Custom Hot Keys for any menu bar item

Now with Bartender you can now assign hot keys to any menu bar items, Activating the hot key will show the menu bar item (if its hidden) and optionally left click or right click it.
Great for apps that are hidden, or apps that don't let you assign a hot key (like Control Center or Notification Center).

Show For Updates Image Comparison Algorithm

The image comparison algorithm has been completely re-written, it has always worked in light/dark mode and with different backgrounds, but it now has less chance of false positives, and better detection of real even very small changes (This now works with Arq), all this and it uses less CPU to do the check.

Updated sidebar icons

There are new images for the sidebar icons in Bartender Preferences.


Bug Fixes

Bartender menu showing

A Bartender menu would show when Bartender was supposed to hide the left menu, this has been fixed.

Revealed menu bar items hiding while using them

A menu bar item shown via hotkey, Bartender Bar, or Quick Search could hide again while the user was still interacting with its UI. This has been fixed.
