Multimedia Powerhouse
Quartz Compositions
- Quartz Compositions are a Mac OS X-only data type that allows developers to quickly and easily make stunning 3D compositions
- 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
- Many screen savers are also quartz compositions
Quicktime Movies
- 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
- If you have additional Quicktime plug ins installed, Mach Desktop will automatically take advantage of those extra movie formats
Web Pages
- Have a web site you can't stop visiting? Put it on the Desktop!
Desklets
Desklets let you run Shell Commands, Images, and Text files on your Desktop. Shell Commands are Unix Commands that let you display all kinds of interesting information; using anything from simple commands to complex scripts. Image Desklets let you display images from either your local hard drive or images from around the web on your Desktop. And Text Desklets let you display text files (Plain text only, .txt) on your Desktop. Of the three kind of Desklets, Shell Desklets are the most powerful.
