[edit] General

The BOINC Client Software includes a screen saver program. When active, the screen saver does the following:

  • If a graphics-capable application is running, the screen saver causes that application to provide full-screen graphics. If more than one is running (e.g. on a multiprocessor) the screen saver cycles between them every few minutes.
  • If applications are running but none are graphics-capable, the screen saver shows the names of the applications and their fraction done.
  • If the core client is running but no applications are running, the screen saver shows that.
  • If the core client is not running, the screen saver shows that.

Normally, if you press a key or mouse the mouse while the screen saver is active, the screen saver will exit. Some BOINC applications handle keyboard/mouse input. If you hold down the control key, any additional input will be passed to the application, and your computer will remain in screen saver mode.
