    Anyone knows how to make the touch volume buttons get more (or less) volume when i touch them? (Gateway P7908u FX)

    I managed to change the DVD shortcut to a custom application using REGEDIT but now I don't know do the volume change.

    Thanks in advance :)

    it depends on the speed you move your finger, if you go from left to right really fast... youll only increase the volume by a small amount, by going slower youll get more volume.

    you can also just place your finger on the "- or +" and hold it and itll keep going untill you lift your finger.

    Fun trick: If you tap down on the + or - and hover your finger right over it, it will stay lit up until you move your finger away, but the volume doesn't change.

    I had fun for about 30 seconds when I first did it.

    What i tried to explain is if there is a way, for example, that when i press once the "+", the bar in the windows volume indicator advances twice as it does by default...

    Somewhere to config this? registry maybe?

    Thanks for the info by the way :)

    Haha yeah... you are right... funny thing.

    yeah, this would be nice... it takes forever to change the volume... ive resorted to a gadget in windows which i can just use the scroll wheel on my sidebar.
