xGestures brings mouse gestures to all aspects of Mac OS X. Use xGestures to add normal directional mouse gestures and rocker gestures to the Finder, Safari, any of your favorite applications, or to the entire system as a whole.
Actions that can be performed by gestures include closing and minimizing windows, launching and switch applications, picking menu items, performing keystrokes, triggering Exposé, and much more!

P.-S. Why can’t I give five stars for Ease of Use ? xGestures is indeed easy to use.

I guest it has sth to do with com.apple.quarantine. Wish the developer could fix this.
Just wonder if it is possible to make this app available on AppStore and transfer our purchases there, so that more people will know this gr8t app.

I emailed him because I can't even install it in Lion. The installer complains about permissions or something.
If I install it manually, will it work? Has anyone else done a Lion upgrade on top of their Snow Leopard with xGestures installed?

"I bought xGestures last night and it won't register. It says it's invalid.
Also, when I go to your website the support and download pages cannot be found:
http://briankendall.net/xGestures/download.htm
http://briankendall.net/xGestures/support.htm
And why do we need an installer, which freaks out trying to find xgestures.app, when all we need is a double clickable preference pane?
What's going on?"
I feel cheated.

The only thing I really wish it could do is have the option to detect when you plug in a mouse and then have the gestures switch from the "Pressing a key on the keyboard" option to "Click and holding a mouse button..etc" option, instead of having to do that manually every time I switch between using my laptops trackpad and mouse.

That's right folks, make an alias of YourHardDrive/Library/PreferencePanes/xGestures.prefPane/Contents/Resources/xGestures.app and right-click on it then choose 'Open'.

For those having issues with the installer, try running the following command in Terminal while the xGestures DMG is mounted:
open /Volumes/xGestures/.data/EverythingElse/xGestures.prefPane
That should attempt to launch the most recent version and trigger System Preferences to install it.

I do have a wacom tablet, though the documentation says after 10.3 this should work, and I'm on Lion.
This is very disappointing- I was going to set the button on the wacom stylus to the xGestures key, and say hello to amazingly customizable gestures. Something that's woefully missing from both the wacom software and apple's "ink" (aka inkwell?).
Developer, if you can hear me, please help!
