# Your trackpad's edges are sliders.

Fringe

Fringe turns the edges of your trackpad into sliders. Start a one-finger drag in a corner and slide along the edge: the left edge sets the volume, the right edge the display brightness and the top edge the keyboard backlight, with a click from the Force Touch trackpad at every step and Droppy's HUD in the notch.

Free with Droppy. Open the Droplet Store to get started.

## What it does

Fringe only listens to the trackpad and never blocks a touch. A resting palm or a second finger never counts, a drag that wanders into the middle of the trackpad stops, and the top right corner stays Notification Center's.

Each edge can do something else or nothing at all, a key can be required while you drag, and the shelf widget or a shortcut pauses every gesture at once.
