SideTrack - Add new functionality to your trackpad
Authored by: rskoss on Oct 09, '03 06:18:02AM

With so many of you singing the praises of SideTrack, I must be doing something wrong because I don't think it's ready for prime time.

When I attempt to scroll, it's a matter of trick or treat if scrolling is going to start or not. After several attempts, I can usually get the page to scroll, but it scrolls either too far or too little, and then I have to start the process of initiating scrolling all over again.

I'm using a 667Mhz TiBook, OS 10.2.6.

I experienced rskoss' problem where scrolling does not happen consistently. I might offer a little help though.

Put more finger area when you want to scroll. i.e. Instead of using the tip of your finger, flatten your finger a bit on the touch pad. Sometimes pressing harder may work too.

Well, I still like my 5-button mouse better. Good luck trying! :)

Still not perfect, but it works better indeed! Thanks...
