I've never really given this much thought, I always assumed that OSX doesn't incorporate the double tap unlike Windows laptops so I've been using the button for double clicks. But now I have to ask (for fear that my MBP is defective) if whether I should have the double tap ability.
Got a tip for us?

Does your trackpad have double-tap?

Really??? So you're saying that I'm suppose to have tapping. But I've played around with the Trackpad settings and could find no mention of it.
You should have double tap.
I use it all the time on my macbook, can't be bothered to use the button.
In a fit of panic I didn't even realize that the clicking checkbox was not checked! Now I feel like a tard

It happens.
And just so you know, there is no such thing as a separate double tap, at least in OS X. You can tap, so you can tap twice. Essentially just like a mouse.I have double tap enabled and two finger scroll enabled (probably one of my favorite features). The only problem I really have with the trackpad is that when I don't have "ignore random trackpad inputs" on and I type the palm of my hand constantly hits the trackpad and moves the cursor back to basically what I was typing and erases it, so I keep it on if I'm ever just typing or if I'm on Adium/iChat and turn it off when I'm surfing the web
Not that I like the colors, but what do you use to change them? Care to share any urls to any os x themeing sites if any such ones exists?
i love the fact that you can use 2 fingers to scroll. and use double tap to open. the mbp and mb touchpads are really sensitive compared to other things ive used.
