Default Features you would find in the next releases of ATT - 06-27-2007, 15:44 | posts: 10 | Location: Italy

I do not know if I am allowed to start such a thread, because I wondered: if Ray Adams does't do this, maybe it is not the case. And because I am not involved in the developement of ATT, so the work load deriving from this is on other shoulders than mine.

Anyway, I wanted to submit a couple of ideas for future releases and so I thought: why not in a general thread valid for everyone? Because it is said that *asking is always free of charge*...

So here are the two ideas:

1)ATT already implement a feature that allows the monitoring of GPU/VRAM clock frequency, system load, frames per second and more, but in the system tray I can only display GPU temperature (I could, because my poor Mobility 9700 has no temp sensor). I was wondering if it's possible to implement a feature allowing you to display the clock speeds etc in system tray: this would be useful for laptop users, for overclockers and for whoever wants to know what exactly is doing the graphic card in real time.

2)This was suggested by quipster811: the possibility to kill ATT shared memory before suspend mode and to restore it on resume automatically. The reason for this request are explained here: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=229456

Thanks

1) Just imagine how (for example) 1600MHz will be displayed as icon in tray
2) I'm still unable to find whats wrong with some systems and sleep/suspend modes. I have Vista, XP and have no problems with sleep mode at all.

About the icons in systray, I have found that the producers of Rightmark CPU clock utility ( http://cpu.rightmark.org/ )have found a very good way to move around the problem of the small fonts. They have formatted the text on two lines, the first displaying the speed and the second the measurement unit, this way:

600
MHz

When the speed of your processor is above the 999 MHZ, the text changes in

1,80
GHz

for example, so that the measurement accuracy is not bad even over the GHz. This way the text is small but well readeable.The only problem is that you can't change the colour of the text...

I think it would be a good addition to this already good utility
