Mach Desktop 0.60 Beta
Turns your desktop into a multimedia and information powerhouse. more>> Turns your desktop into a multimedia and information powerhouse.
Mach Desktop allows your to run Quartz Compositions, Quicktime movies, or Web pages as your desktop.
Mach Desktop also introduces a concept called the desktop utility, where you can have commonly used utilities living on your desktop. Stop living in a single picture world and give your desktop the polish it deserves.
Mach Desktop is your desktop reinvented. Mach Desktop offers you to run three kinds of data types on your desktop: Quartz compositions, Quicktime movies, and Web pages. Quartz Compositions are a Mac OS X-only data type that allows developers to quickly and easily make stunning 3D compositions.
Since Quartz Compositions are easy to make, there are literally thousands of them available.
Quartz compositions are built using a visual programming environment that take advantage of a massive set of technologies including but not limited to; Particle generators, 3D shapes, collision detection, realistic physics, 3D textures, per pixel lighting, video capturing and so much more.
Quartz Compositions have been begging to be let out on the desktop for way too long: and Mach Desktop delivers. Many screen savers are also quartz compositions as well.
In addition to Quartz Compositions, Mach Desktop can also play Quicktime movies. The explosion of Quicktime has never been higher. Hundreds, maybe even thousands, of applications support exporting as Quicktime and its often very easy to grab a Quicktime version of a video on the Internet.
However, its so much more than just playing quicktime movies. You can easily set Mach Desktop to play a portion of a movie by positioning two sliders. You can slow down or speed up movies so it sounds like chipmunks. And of course you can set the volume.
If you have additional Quicktime plug ins installed, Mach Desktop will automatically take advantage of those extra movie formats.
One may think this may be enough for a good looking desktop, but we didnt stop there. In addition to Quartz Compositions and Quicktime movies, we also added Web Page support. Have a favorite web page you cant stop visiting? Put it on the desktop.
Lastly, instead of just making the desktop aesthetically appealing, we also added a concept called Desktop Utilities. Desktop utilities do what they suggest: They are utilities that live on your desktop. Even more convenient than widgets, desktop utilities are always just a keystroke or mouse gesture away.
Constantly opening and closing the Calculator app? Keep the Calculator utility on your desktop. Tired of looking up phone numbers and addresses? Thats where our Address Book utility comes in handy.
Want a quick glance of whos online in iChat? We have you covered. We have several utilities available, including but not limited to; a multiple clipboard that records the last five items, an iTunes controller, a calendar, a calculator, an address book and an iChat buddy list controller.
With stunning desktop imagery and desktop utilities, the Macintosh Desktop has never looked so good. Download Mach Desktop today and see how much better it is than living in a normal desktop environment.
