Quartz Desktop 1.0.1
Quartz Desktop - View Quartz Compositions on your desktop more>> Quartz Desktop - View Quartz Compositions on your desktop
Quartz Desktop is a free Mac application that will allow you to set a Quartz Composition to run on your desktop over the wallpaper.
Quartz Compositions are screensaver-like files that can include rich data sources and render them using all the features of Quartz Extreme and Core Image.
One of the best examples is the RSS screensaver that ships with Tiger, but that is only scratching the surface of what Quartz Composer is able to do.
NOTE: Editing and creating your own Quartz Compositions requires Quartz Composer, which comes with the OS X 10.4 Developer Tools.
System requirements:
- Xcode

Quartz BenchX opaque V07
Quartz BenchX opaque works great and has a nice interface. Tests 333 opaque windows, different size but much biggen than by 1000Kwindowsbloom bench. more>> Quartz BenchX opaque V07 works greatly and has a nice interface. Tests 333 opaque windows, different size but much biggen than by 1000Kwindowsbloom bench.
Also an small video is playing, which can stopped by clicking on it for an second test without that additional PCI/CPU usage. PCI MAC-systems are much slower than AGP Systems, QE Hack may help, but not much. Opaque windows are near same speed to normal at AGP macs, but much slower on PCI Macs.
- New: switch opaque / normal window test (opaque is much slower on PCI Macs)
- New: now WPS, windows / sec , not Sec as result
- Fixed: Main window now in focus at startup

Kineme Quartz Composer Plugins 0.2
Kineme Quartz Composer Plugins - Nine new patches for Quartz Composer more>>
MIDI Global In Note :: This patch observes a specified MIDI Note number on a specified MIDI Channel, and outputs the Velocity and a boolean Gate signal.
MIDI Global Out Note :: This patch, when Gate is rising true, outputs a MIDI note-on message on a specified MIDI Channel with the specified Velocity. When Gate is falling false, a MIDI note-off message is sent.
Image With Composition :: This patch loads a Quartz Composer Composition (.qtz) file and renders it to an Image. (This is intended to replace functionality that was removed with the Mac OS X 10.4.7 update.)
File Type :: This patch provides the Uniform Type Identifier (UTI) of the specified file. For example, if the path to a QuickTime movie is specified, File Type outputs "com.apple.quicktime-movie".
MIDI Global Output CC :: This patch, when triggered, outputs a MIDI Custom Controller message on a specified MIDI Channel to all MIDI outputs.
MIDI Global Input CC :: This patch observes a specified MIDI Custom Controller on a specified MIDI Channel, and outputs the Custom Controller Value and a Value-changed trigger. Unlike the "MIDI Controllers" patch that comes with Quartz Composer, this patch doesnt require the user to manually select the "Observed MIDI Sources" individually for every controller/computer combination - so youre free to take your composition to a different machine and/or controller and jam without needing to hack the composition.
String With File :: This patch reads a file into a string.
String With URL :: This patch retrieves a URL into a string.
Document Info :: This patch returns some information about the zeroth Cocoa NSDocument.
Enhancements:
- Added four new patches: MIDI Note Input/Output, Image With Composition, File Type.
