Highly extensible, the CATALYST Control Center will also offer a Software Development Kit (SDK) to enable users to develop custom skins and plug-ins for their favorite applications. The SDK will be in beta form at launch, with a final version expected later this year. To encourage the participation of the user community, ATI will be sponsoring an online contest with prizes for the top plug-ins and skins for CATALYST Control Center. This promotion is expected to kick-off in October 2004.
“As 3D hardware performance continues to move forward it is imperative that software innovation keep pace, ensuring users derive maximum value from their graphics processor,” said Ben Bar-Haim, Vice President, Software, ATI Technologies. “With the introduction of CATALYST Control Center, we provide a standards-based solution that shields the user from complexity, while allowing them to enjoy a more customized experience and fully harness the performance and features found in their ATI graphics accelerator.”
The Skins Factory built the interface on top of Stardock’s amazing customization platform - DirectSkin.
Anyway, I find Java 1.5 to be simply great. It is much faster then any previous Java versions and looks much better too. The API improved in 1.5, together with generics of the language. Java 1.5 is much more typesafe too.
Thanks for the news.
I am as perplexed as you. We jumped up 3.5 versions. If it is that much of an improvement I am all for it
Although the download does say 1.5.0
