The dynamic switching is one of its fundamental problems because I don’t like peripheral vision distractions. Fortunately, the bar can be configured to be static.

It’s amazing how little movement it takes to catch your eye’s attention (one reason why ads are almost always annoying if they have any catchy color or move in any way, even if they’re not in your face).

Therefore, I don’t want the icons on the keyboard changing how they look. I’m probably not looking at the keyboard, I’m looking at the screen and that just makes me look at the keyboard again.

And sadly, it’s not like you even need a Touch Bar to have dynamic behavior in every application; function keys are already dynamic.
