The Seti@Home Boinc Windows Graphics Version has a static banner. This part of the screen does not move, hence defeats the purpose of having Seti@Home as a screensaver, because it will still burn my screen. Please remove the banner or at least make the banner move every now and then.

I have following thoughts:
1. If you use the screensaver, it slows down the processing time.
2. You can still go into the screen settings and turn the monitor of after a given time.
3. I'm not sure burning in of screens is still a problem.

If you have a modern openGL video card the screensaver uses very little CPU time.

Screen burn is still a problem but it is reduced so much in modern monitors that it can usually be ignored. Setting the monitor to shut off will help this also.

Just delete or rename the better_banner.jpg and it should remove it from the graphics screen.

Deleteing this file will cause a error in the current workunit and it will be downloaded again. You would have to replace it with an empty graphic.
