I do like the fact that Opera comes with mouse gesture support, but I know some people prefer system-wide applications so that the gestures are more universal.

StrokeIt, their ol’ standby, hasn’t seen updates in four years, which is like 28 web years. Then they found High Sign, an alpha bit of software that looks slick.

I guess you get used to it?! :) Thanks AB – I always knew that if I was forced into buying a new PC with Vista then I’d still carry on using StrokeIt, but it must be slightly more difficult without being able to see the gesture being drawn?

All you need to do is turn off the 'Draw colored line when entering gesture' and you're ready to go :) @DComedian: StrokeIt works perfectly for me on Vista Enterprise Edition for the last 9months!

I couldn't even consider upgrading to a PC with Vista on it, because StrokeIt by all accounts doesn't work very well with Vista.Why on earth people use computers without using mouse gestures is an utter mystery to me to be honest, I guess people aren't prepared to invest a few minutes setting up and learning gestures. They must save me hours each month, days each year.For anybody who doesn't currently use gestures but thinks they might be useful my suggestion is that you start off learning and using just a few, and then add to them once they've become second nature.If High Sign proves to be as good as StrokeIt then I will definitely be making a donation, I will watch its progress with interest.
