thanks for your feedback! yes, till now you have 6 predefined gestures to keep things easy.

..but this is just the beginning, lets see how this develops

No, the gestures are fine. I just can't choose which actions should be done with the gestures.

Ich weiß du bist deutsch deswegen nochmal auf deutsch :D
Ich kann mir nicht aussuchen, was passieren soll wenn ich eine Geste ausführe. Es ist alles ausgegraut :/

Ah ok, just go to the first page and enable SideCuts ;)

I did this already -.- everything is working fine except the problem I described above. It seem like this feature did not get unlocked. I also reinstalled the app but it didn't solve the problem. I still can't change the gesture actions.

Edit: The problem got solved :) Thx

I still like GMDGesture Control the best. That app is just so versatile, I use it with Slide Launcher and getting to anything I want from anywhere can't be easier. Plus it's the only app that truly kills pesky apps running unnecessary background processes if you setup a gesture for "kill app" function.

I have one little sugestion that I can't find in any other "side bar launcher app" and I hope you can help ;)
I'd like to have feature to open not only apps from sidebar but also 'shortcuts' and 'activities'. Something like you have in Nova Launcher - that you can for eg. run Slide Over activity with a gesture from Sliding Messaging App.

EDIT: My mistake! There already is feature to launch shortcuts and stuff! Great app! ;)

Here you have the Spanish translation. There may be some mistakes since it's very late and I don't have much time (I revised it a couple of times).

Please anybody correct me if I'm wrong, but:

In "Disable Touch Areas is selected Apps" I supposed "is" was meant to be "if"

Since I haven't used the App a lot I don't know what "Opening Animation Time" is for (the translation may be different); this also applies to other words.

There is also a punctuation correction.

I don't mind testing the translated App before it is released

Thank you for the app!

*Translation Updated (1):
-Fixed some mistakes.
-Changed a few things now that I have used the App more.
-Translated some things I had forgotten.

*Translation Updated (2):
-New translation file translated
-Minor changes
