Though it's low priority with a view of the science, a beutiful screensaver will partly help not only this project to gather many participants, but also the crunchers to understand what's going on their hosts, which means they can be more interested in the science.

Yes suguruhirahara, I have done some progress in the screensaver. So far, I have been looking at the source code to understand how it works so that we can implement a screensaver with our own drawing and logo. Hopefully, a simple screensaver with a shape moving around will be ready by January. |

Karina, Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you out with this, whether its for the simple upcoming one in January, or a more complex later version. My graphics programs are at your disposal ;) Atomic ____________ KWSN - Asylum for the Cynically Insane

Hi, On Linux, you can issue the following command from the command line (you should find boinc_cmd in the main BOINC directory). ./boinc_cmd --set_screensaver_mode off 10 The last parameter is referred to as "blank time" and you get an error if you leave it off, even if you're turning screensaver mode off. This will apply to all BOINC projects on that machine. Happy New Year, -- David |

Karina is working on the windows screensaver right now which will be followed by a mac version. There is a big discussion going on about linux screensavers on the boinc email lists as this seems to be a hard problem to solve. We will work on a linux version later on too though.

Hopefully, a simple screensaver with a shape moving around will be ready by January. Is there a way to include this in the "run_client" and "run_manager" files? Thank you. |

Excellent.......I'm going to give that a try. I pulled the plug on Rosetta, because their screensaver was crashing my machines, even though I did not specifically run the screensaver. Thank you. |
