Installing xGestures

To install xGestures, open the .dmg file you downloaded to mount it, and then open the file located within. If you are running Mac OS X 10.4, the xGestures preference pane will be installed. If you are running Mac OS X 10.3, the package installer will run since xGestures requires a more complicated installation for Panther. You may also be prompted to remove files from previous xGestures versions, since many of the support files necessary for those previous versions aren't needed anymore.

Configuring xGestures

All the information you'd ever want or need concerning how to configure xGestures is available in the xGestures Documentation. It's the last tab in the xGestures Preference Pane. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me. Me email is in the documentation or on the Support page.

Uninstalling xGestures

To uninstall xGestures, go to the third tab labeled "About" in the xGestures preference pane, and click the "Uninstall" button.

In previous version of xGestures, this button would remove the program file, preference pane, kernel extension, and other support files located in the root-level Library folder. For version 1.4 in Mac OS X 10.4, this removes the preference pane. The program file is located in the preference pane bundle, so no other file needs to be removed. In fact, it's not even really necessary to click uninstall button. Feel free to trash the preference pane on your own. In Mac OS X 10.3, this removes the preference pane and kernel extension located in /Library. Your administrator password will be required in order to complete this. Afterwards, to insure that everything has been unloaded, restart your computer after uninstalling xGestures.
