BetterTouchTool can help with gestures and
TotalSpaces with replacing Mission Control and bringing back Spaces (the current incarnation of TotalSpaces is quite fluid, though I haven't found a way to trigger Exposé via mouse in grid view yet).
ok - i really am going to have to try these out. i thought i'd give it a day to get used to it, but they really killed the trackpad in my opinion. i know what they are trying to do with the over all experience but i really don't like it. i couldn't get my mail app back to "classic layout" fast enough, for example as i have always hated reading emails on my iPad.
but the trackpad...what have they done? the trackpad, to me, is worth the price of admission to the whole mac experience by itself!
while i've already whined about no 4-swipe = apple-tab, i just noticed that the 3-swipe up/down doesn't snap to the top or bottom of a document. this is actually a bigger interruption to my productivity.
i am having a hard time getting used to the 2-finger back/forward as opposed to 3 but i suppose i will get there.
i guess i just don't understand the app doc...i liked having a few (stocks, calculator, weather, flights etc) but i set mouse to one corner to bring them up. that's all i need. why did they feel the need to further integrate them into the OS? seems like a ploy to get you to buy more apps more than an attempt to improve user experience.
what really drives me crazy with the mission control choice they went with is that they didn't even ADD a feature, they just took away the old one. 3 and 4 finger swipe up/down both do the EXACT same thing? so why didn't they give you the option to do whatever you wanted like they did in 10.6?
seems like they're going the wrong direction. am i alone on this or even in the minority?
