climateprediction.net swaying across the screen in the screensaver is cheesy and ugly looking....


any way to turn it off? the screen saver for the 4.03 beta looked...much, much, much nicer without climateprediction.net bouncing all over the screen saver.


Also with all the different versions of boinc running around...if you accidently start the wrong one if you have several on your system it destroys your data and it resets the project. I wasn't too happy about that one...but oh well. Down to just 4.05 on the system as I deleted everything else.

&gt;screensaver
I guess its just an ordinary screensaver, select a different one in screen properties.
I don't use the CPDN screensaver, I use my pr0no slideshow.
&gt;versions
Whenever I get a new version of boinc I just use it to overwrite the old one.
Cheers,

PeterV.

Hmmm... Maybe I'll have to see if the screensaver on 4.05 works on my system. The previous version tanked on my system.

Yes you can turn it off, simple press 0 to disable the stars and the logo will go to where the stars are.
&gt;
&gt; Also with all the different versions of boinc running around...if you

Yep 0 gets rid of the floating logo...the stars looked cool though. It would be nice to have a toggle just for the logo to axe it.



It's too bad my old wu's got ejected into space though...I was on stage 2 finally and only another 900 cpu hours and I could have finished it.


I brought another computer on-line to make up for it though...team USA is growing also now.
