Alternatives to Presentation Director

[dvorak]

I've been using AP happily, but it's functionality is quite poor, to be honest.
Lately I've had a bigger need to change other video card settings, often, and doing it manually is quite time-consuming.
I'm mostly talking about Overlay options (for video, theater mode, same for all etc), overscan mode for TV and so on.

Also when manually chaning schemes in the disp. properties, I can achieve the effect of 1400x1050 on a TV too, with side scrolling, but it's not possible to get this automatically using AP.
If this would only be the only thing, I could use the ATI tray icon and schemes, but unfortunately there are no such shortcuts for other options nor does it allow schemes to configure such options.

Could anyone recommend some alternative display properties' scheme makers, that could, lets say, sit in the tray, have schemes, have shortcuts for various display options etc?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I don't know of any. I work for a multimedia production company and it would be nice to have something more advanced like what you speak of.

But, you gotta admit, the presentation director is pretty cool and handy for the average user to have. Much better than changing things around in Windows, and I don't know of anyother manufacturer with anything like it.

When I was searching for more info about the tray icon that ATI's drivers install, I came upon a possible solution to our problem. I haven't had the time to check it out yet, perhaps you'll beat me to it, it bears the name ATI Tray Tools (http://www.radeon2.ru/atitray/).

Titles itself as an overclock tool, but reading the front page reveals it supports schemes and overlay options (theater etc).

We'll see if it's what we're looking for ;)
