Mouse gestures in XP/Vista?

by robstak - 1/24/08 7:25 PM

However lame or awesome you think the MBA is, I think everyone agrees that the multitouch trackpad is awesome. Even without multitouch, it'd be cool to have mouse gestures in windows.

Unfortunately, my first two attempts at finding a program have turned up nothing!

Does anyone know of a proggie out there that'll do that in vista???

And since it is a Apple-patented technology, the last thing they'll do is to put it on Vista or any Windows version.

There is a great mouse gesture program for XP.
It's called or StrokeIt. It's free (donationware).

It's totally awesome and highly configurable.
It works geat with XP but I just tried it on Vista and it more or less completely fails to work.

Dang, my old PC croaked and my new one is running Vista. That's why I came across your posts. I'm looking for something that works with Vista. It's unbeleivable to me that there isn't something out there. It's one of the most massivly useful apps I've ever used...

Just got Vista installed yesterday and StrokeIt is one of the first programs I install whenever I format my drive. Sadly, what you said is true: it just doesn't work in Vista.

Hopefully someone else knows of a good application..?

StrokeIt has always been one of the first programs that I install whenever I format my computer. Sadly yesterday I installed Vista for the first time and found out exactly what you're talking about: it just doesn't work in Vista.

I found this thread via a google search for Vista mouse gestures... hopefully someone knows about a good application & posts about it!
