Great! Thanks for the info. This seems to give applications devs lots of potential.<br>
<br>
Any chance of you adding "shakes" to the gestures? This would be ideal for the "ball bearings in a tin can" style of unread email message-count.<br>
<br>
I was about to say "any chance of you adding shaking to the gestures?" but after I waving my hand around like an idiot it seems to me that one's natural movement is not to shake with the randomness I initially assumed. Instead, if I wanted to hear quantity of messages in my inbox, I would instinctively shake quickly right-and-returning-leftwards two to four times.<br>
<br>
This adds the opportunity to shake forward and back a couple of times for number of SMS messages or for battery fullness (I like the Glasgow Uni's idea of using a splashing sound for that).<br>
<br>
(Just read your subsequent posts - I'm glad to read that gestures can easily be taught to the device. But you also ask for suggested gestures, so I think these above would be useful. I envision them to be made quite rapidly.)<br>

The fact that is currently undocumented is all my fault. Sorry for that - I'll catch up this weekend. Till then, I have to work on the release.<br>
<br>
Yes, there are 2 daemons, one that processes the gestures and sends signals on dbus, and a listener daemon that listens for gestures and runs the actions for each gesture.<br>

I'm slightly disappointed that the "shaking inbox" wouldn't be accommodated by the gestures you've made available.<br>

A casual search doesn't reveal how your work is supposed to integrate on the device. Presumably it's a library or daemon which is intended to fulfil all gesturing requests from all other apps? Will it be easy to add new gestures?<br>
