Okay, suppose that despite the occasional crash resulting from the screen saver, I just like the screen saver and/or graphics, and I don\'t really want to:

Start off with the temperature view and BBC side-panel
C for clouds view
F for fluffy clouds
S to start planet rotation
Z to hide the side-panel
0 to show the star field

...every single time. That\'s is my preferred view, however graphics-intensive it is, and I want to keep it that way. How do I make those settings stick?

Change the settings under: climateprediction.net preferences
control resource share and customize graphics

Which is on your account page. On the web site.

Ah. Thanks for the tip.

...but apparently, that\'s insufficient. I made my changes, saved them, went back to the BOINC manager, clicked Update, waited until it said \"scheduler request succeeded\" in the Messages tab (which should mean it completed an update), and loaded the graphics. No change. None of the new settings are taking effect. Also confirmed the screen saver is also using the same settings. Checked to make sure the web site had saved my settings. It had. Went to edit the settings, they all went back to defaults. Set everything again. Saved. Updated again. Displayed graphics. Still shows temperature map, BBC panel, no rotation (fixed at Africa). What gives?

After updating to the most recent version of the BOINC client, it seems most of the settings are now propogating correctly. Thanks!
