The theory is that the project that\'s currently running will have it\'s screen saver displayed.
But this will be a problem where the computer has more than one processor, and is running WU\'s from different projects at the same time.

Your message is not easy to decipher.

Best shot: We discourage use of the screen saver. It steals a considerable amount of resource from productive work. Instead, for short checks, use boinc manager/Tasks/show graphics, with the appropriate CPDN run highlighted. It works.

Well, I don\'t run SETI, and I don\'t use any screen savers, but perhaps you\'re talking about the different views available.
For the climate models, go to the Tasks tab and click the Show graphics button; then you can press different keys to see different views. Which ones are available can be seen by pressing H (for Help).

To change the view running as the screen saver, you need to change the option in your prefs in your account on the server.
