Version: gMote 1.31
"Gestures for places where there were no gestures before"
Pros: Add mouse gesture functionality to almost anywhere in Windows
Create custom gestures for a variety of actions, including opening folders, launching files, and controlling media players
Save gesture groups for different sets of programs or work tasksCons: Creating gestures can be tricky; program requires some precision mouse maneuvers
Summary: Gmote allows Windows users to use mouse gestures anywhere. Mouse gestures use movements with the mouse to execute commands. If you have this feature in your favorite browser, then you already know how useful it is to be able to move forward, backward, reload web pages, and do other things with just a flick of the mouse. Gmote gives you this ability all over Windows, and even takes it further. Now you can even open web pages and programs with your mouse.
May conflict with programs with gestures built-in (exclusion solve this)
You must save gesture sets or else the program will forget them
The program itself comes with a few gestures already coded in. Of course, you can add more as you see fit. It is tricky to get the gestures just right, because you actually have to draw them using the right mouse button. In addition, you need to save any gestures you create in addition to the original set or else the program will not remember your custom gestures. If you have mouse gestures enabled in another program, you will need to create exclusions so that gmote does not conflict with them.
Gmote does not interfere with any other program, and its footprint is small. I love it because you can use mouse gestures with the Safari browser and Google Chrome. Gmote is a simple way to add mouse gestures to all of Windows.
