This app does not and never will contain the gesture engine that actually brings those gestures to life. However, there is a convenient link within the app to obtain the engine. So, in this article I’m going to enlist 7 best Android apps to gesture control your phone.Hope you’ll like to use these apps on your Android phone. Conena’s Gesture Control.

This morning, Apple updated their Boot Camp app to version 6.0 bringing support for Windows 10 in an official capacity. Granted, users could already use the previous version to install Windows 10 as we demonstrated in our how-to using a MacBook Pro (2015).

One issue many users have complained about though is Apple does not support or enable any gesture support in Windows. We recently outlined some of these gestures in our comprehensive article '9 touchpad gestures every Windows 10 user should know' for those with a Precision touchpad.

However, there is a way to get it back using a free, third-party app called Trackpad++. Indeed, not only does this app bring gesture support but it also adds many fine-grained controls to make that trackpad even better. Some of the features include:

• 2-, 3- and 4-finger gestures, such as pinch-to-zoom, back / forward, middle mouse button emulation, new Windows 8 gestures and much more
• Dramatically improved 2-finger scrolling experience: Mac® OS X Mavericks-similar (accelerated / natural) scrolling model implemented
• Improved pointer ballistics (i.e. how the pointer speed depends on the finger speed; comes with 6 built-in optimal presets)
• Mac OS X-like 3-finger dragging, and classic '2-fingers with click' dragging, option to increase the pointer speed when dragging
• User-customizable option to ignore the accidental trackpad input when typing, and many more useful tweaks / enhancementsI recently installed this app this morning and so far, it is excellent. Here is how to get it working.

It should be noted that you need two apps to make this happen: Power Plan Assistant and the Trackpad++ software and drivers. The reason for this has to with needing a signed driver for 64-bit systems due to Microsoft's digital signature enforcement policy. The Power Plan Assistant evidently lets you install the Trackpad++ driver to override the one from Boot Camp. You still get a warning about installing it, but it should be overridden.

What is Power Plan Assistant? It is another free app the lets you toggle between balanced, battery saver and performance modes along with some shortcuts to some quick actions like logging off. I am not a huge fan of the app if only because I think it is a bit redundant and dated looking. Having said that, I do not see any deal breakers either. It does offer a snazzy battery percentage in the Task Bar, which many will like too.

Enable gesture support in Windows 10 on a Mac

1. Download both apps

Power Plan Assistant and Trackpad++ thru the project's website (FileCluster hosts the apps). Forgive the terribly dated GeoCities-esque web design. Power Plan was last updated on July 30, 2015, and Trackpad++ was updated today, August 13, 2015, so they are very recent. There are no ads or spyware in the apps.

2. Double-click to install Trackpad++

You will get a warning and this is expected

3. Click More Info near the bottom

Trackpad++ should now be installed and running in the notification area in the lower-right corner. Double-clicking it opens the configuration window.

Here is where you can see all of the settings. There are many, so take your time to configure to your liking. If you are a PC user, here is what I recommend for some basics.

Recommended Settings (for PC users)

• Disable Invert scroll direction to make the Mac feel like a PC
• Enable Turbo Mode
• Right-click in Bottom Right Corner
• Enable Edge Gestures (two-finger swipe brings up Action Center)
• Three-finger Swipe Up = Task View Toggle
• Three-finger Tap = Start Menu Toggle
• Three-finger Swipe Down = Minimize App Toggle
• Swipe Back/Forward Navigation
• Invert Swipe Direction
• Accelerate Scroll

You can, of course, configure all the gestures for the rest of three and four finger gestures, of which there are plenty.

One downside to this setup is the Trackpad++ Control Module needs to be updated weekly. As noted by the developer:

'NOTICE: Trackpad++ Control Module is free, but requires mandatory weekly update. If the week has passed and Trackpad++ ControlModule was not updated, Trackpad++ driver will be using the Boot Camp driver settings, unless the Trackpad++ Control Module is updated.'

Overall, if you are considering using Windows 10 on a Mac or picking up a Mac to run Windows 10, you will want to consider seriously using Trackpad++. The app is free, although you can make a donation to the developer to help support the project, which I recommend. Using the app all but completes the Windows-on-a-Mac experience and is worth giving a shot.

Fresh Windows 10X emulator release no longer requires Insider builds

Microsoft released fresh updates for both the Microsoft Emulator and the Windows 10X preview image today. The biggest news is that you no longer have to be running an Insider build to use the new Windows 10X image.

OS X features several handy native trackpad gestures aimed at controlling your Mac, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to launch or open your favorite app with a simple trackpad gesture? In this post, we’ll show you how to easily wield BetterTouchTool in order to do just that.

BetterTouchTool is an app that brings a wealth of new options and settings to many of the Mac’s various input devices. It’s a paid app with a free 45-day trial, and as one of the deepest third-party utilities available for the Mac, it’s worth donating and acquiring a license.

Once you have BetterTouchTool downloaded and installed, you can follow the steps below to create an easy-to-use app-launching gesture.

Step 1: Open BetterTouchTool.

Step 2: Click Trackpads.

Step 3: Click Global under Select Application.

Step 4: Under Touchpad Gesture, select your desired trackpad gesture. I use the 5-finger tap gesture.

Step 5: Under Predefined Action, select Controlling Other Applications → Open Application, and select the application that you wish to assign to the gesture selected in the previous step.

Video walkthrough

If you use a mouse instead of your Mac’s trackpad, then you can always use a different input option in Step 2.

I assigned a five-finger tap gesture to open Google Chrome. Now, no matter where I am on my Mac, I can easily open Google Chrome by tapping my Mac’s trackpad with five fingers.

Do you use BetterTouchTool on your Mac? If you do, then you know that this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as what this utility can do. What are some of your favorite use case scenarios for BetterTouchTool?
