I use dual monitors, and it would be great if the second monitor could be used by BOINC's screensaver, perhaps to show some textual or other "context sensitive" data during screensave mode.
For example, perhaps a list of the last x workunits performed, or a list of the other computers working with data obtained from a similar part of the sky, or... well, anything!
I realise it's kind of a "corner case" now, but with more and more high-end, high-tech-savvy users using dual displays, it would be a pity to waste those unused pixels, wouldn't it? :)
Thanks!
