Is it possible to to download and plug-in different graphics for the seti boinc software?

OR... are they planning to make the graphics clearer and easier to read in a future revision?

I see this topic discussed in a few long threads many years ago, I was just hoping that something had changed since them.

It seems no one is interested or have time to write different graphics for SETI

But can you make it clear ;) - what means "clearer and easier to read graphics"?

It is fully readable to me (last used the graphics years ago - screenshot 16.09.2009):

(look at the picture without any zoom-in or zoom-out, i.e. at native resolution)

Yes, its possible to read it, but the original seti@home client looked a look clearer / cleaner:

I just thought that maybe the programmers had heard enough complaints about it and would re-design it in a future version.

Does anyone know if that is going to happen? Just curious.

No, it's not going to happen.
