Found 1 person who has it downloaded and completed

07-20-2011, 11:39 AM

Hopefully things calm down a bit once I get home so that I can download it. I doubt it though.

Anyone else got it? The new gestures are trash; BetterTouchTool should update its application so that it can run with Lion properly.

07-21-2011, 01:48 AM

yeah the new gestures were not needed. and wtf is up with the scroll bar not having no up and down buttons? not a big thing but smooth.

I hate that the little icons to left on the finder window don't really stand out, but I do like the added "last open" option.

the new log in screen is dope!

They !!ed up with the mouse gestures. The scrolling threw me off at first but at least I was able to switch it back to the old way but now I cant go back a page with the magic mouse thanks to the stupid swipe between full screen apps.

I want my $30 back:rant:

the software could not be verified. it may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading

07-22-2011, 01:35 AM
