how do i assign safari refresh to a right finger rotate, it doesn't give me the option?

On the left panel (select applications) hit the plus button and then select safari as the app you want to specify gestures for (so that rotate in safari does on thing, but still works like normal everywhere else).

Then add a gesture as usual.
 
TapTopCorner Left = Volume down
TapTop Middle = Mute
TapTopCorner Right = Volume up


TapButtom Corner Right = Previous (itunes)
TapButtom Middle = Pause/Play (opens itunes)
TapButtom Left Corner = Next (itunes)
 
I'm having a little bit of an issue with my BBT. I have it set so that four finger swipe right takes me to the login screen (doesn't log me out). However, everytime I put in the password and am brought to the desktop the BBT app has shut down. This means everytime I need to start up the app again. I have it set to restart when the computer restarts, turn on when the computer starts and all of that.

I am new to the Mac OS so maybe it's something I'm not understanding with the way the log in process works. Essentially I don't want to shut down my comp, or log out of my account everytime I stop using the mbp. I just want to "lock" it and be able to "unlock" it when needed and have all my apps and screens open. Is this not possible with the BBT?
 
Ok, I have a good question. I want to get this AND something called inklet which turns the trackpad into a pressure sensitive tablet with the use of a special stylus. Can I have two things that modify the trackpad at the same time? Another question, about this program. I love tap-to-click, but I can not stand dragging. I don't like how there is such a long drag lock.... I often find myself accidentally dragging something after I put it where I want it. So, is there a way to make it so that I can make the drag lock time very very short, maybe even 0, with this program?
 
Here's mine. Addresses some of the inconveniences of Finder and the inefficiency of windows management in OSX for me.

Changing Spaces

I am able to slide three fingers and access the spaces, but I cannot find a way to slide from space to space.
How would I go about three finger sliding left and right moving horizontally from space to space?

EDIT:
I found a way to do this a couple minutes after i posted this, and it's quite useful if you use spaces a lot.
First go to spaces preferences and set "switch between spaces" as nothing.
Then set the BTT as a three finger slide to the keyboard shortcut ^Left, and ^Right (^ is Control)
Finally, go back to spaces preferences and set "switch between spaces" back to ^Arrows.

Love this app,
Mat

Three Click/Three Tap "Middle Click"

Top Left Corner Tap "Show Dashboard"

Three Finger Swipe "Active Tasks AKA cmd+Tab"

I had more in SL but since Lion, there are more defaults that I can't live without though I hate the new 4 finger pinch and spread...
 
My Awesome Setup

Im somewhat crazy with mine and spend a ton of time perfecting it to suit my needs. Here is my current setup which I've developed and used for almost 2 years. I use swipes for window management and navigation. People watch me use my computer and wonder how I operate windows and tasks so quickly.

If anyone wants me to export my config file and send it to them I'd be happy to send it to them.
