Support for mouse gesture recognition has been implemented. By using the System Manager "Gesture" plugin you can add, remove and configure your own mouse gestures. Whenever SkyOS recognizes a conigured mouse gesture, the desired action is performed. You can select from many pre-configured actions like: maximize/minimize window, close application, launch application, etc. The entire gesture recognition is fully intergrated into SkyOS/SkyGI as a service application which can easily be enabled/disabled. The obligatory screenshot.

Stuff like this convinces me SkyOS has what it takes to survive. Mouse gestures are incredibly useful in terms of productivity (less necessity to take your hand of your mouse and move them to the keyboard, or less mouse movement) and to have them system-wide and thus less modal...that's just brilliant.
