On Windows:
- Right-click on the desktop.
- Click Properties, select Screen Saver, select BOINC.
On Mac OS X:
- Under the Apple menu, select System Preferences.
- Click on Desktop & Screen Saver.
- Select BOINCSaver from the list of Screen Savers.
NOTE: BOINC runs even if you don't use the screensaver.
When active, the screensaver does the following:
- If a graphics-capable application is running,
the screensaver causes that application to
provide full-screen graphics.
If more than one is running (e.g. on a multiprocessor)
the screensaver cycles between them every few minutes.
- If applications are running but non are graphics-capable,
the screensaver shows the names of the applications
and their fraction done for the current work unit.
- If the core client is running but no applications are running,
the screensaver shows that.
- If the core client is not running,
the screensaver shows that.
Normally, if you press a key or move the mouse
while the screensaver is active,
the screensaver 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 screensaver mode.
