Touchpads and Win8

[Bat123Man]

Hi,

I just bought the Logitech T650 Touchpad for use with Win8. So far, it's great fun to zip around with gestures, but does anyone know how to close a Win8 app using a Touchpad? I used to (awkwardly) move the mouse to the top of the screen, hold down the left button, and then drag the window off the bottom of the screen. I have tried to do that with the Touchpad, but can't seem to very consistently turn the pointer into a closed hand.

Does anyone know how this is supposed to be done? Other than that, very handy to swipe 3 fingers up for Metro, 3 down for Desktop, 2 fingers in any direction for scrolling (and it has inertia scrolling if you want to get any direction in a hurry), zoom a la iPad, and App Switching from left side to middle. All good, just can't close an app.....

Thanks,
BM.

I have sort of figured it out, but it is very awkward. I can't imagine this is how it is meant to be. With the Touchpad, you can move the cursor to the top of the screen, hold it down with one finger, and then still holding that finger down use a second finger to move the clenched fist down off the bottom of the screen. That closes the window, but is hardly an easy gesture to perform.

Has anyone else found an easier method to close Win8 app windows?
