Better Touch Tool for OSX

I have been using a little utillity called "BetterTouchTool" with my MBP and Magic mouse for quite awhile now and really have come to love it. The purpose of the utility is to allow programming of gestures for the Magic Mouse and the Track Pad that automatically execute commands of your choosing. Opening your L4Mac to different spaces and then using gestures to move automatically between the spaces is one example of how it makes working with L4Mac easier.

They just implemented another feature that I have seen some people talking about using a commercial utility for, they call it Windows 7 windows resizing. It allows you to drag a panel of your L4 (or any other program) to a portion of the screen edge and it automatically expands the window and snaps it in place.

Did I mention that it was free?

I have the site address for downloads and demos listed as an announcement under my profile.

I've downloaded it for a second time! I just have to pluck up the courage to install it. I never liked the multi-function mouse experience on a PC. I always kept accidentally touching a side button and switching on the magnifier! Even with MagicMouse I accidentally click things before I mean to or shift sideways by accident in a screen. I'm just concerned that BTT will make it that more likely; that Mr Clumsy (that's me! [:S]) will be even more accident prone.

Alan, take it slow. Program only one extra function in, after a couple of weeks, program a second. I know some people that really go crazy, but if all you do with it is give yourself the middle mouse button back, it is worth it.

BTW, I only have a few functions programmed into it, but I really like the ability to switch spaces based on how many fingers I push the top down with. Besides the new snap to size window feature holds real promise.
