Not quite, but you can stop the motion by going to your account on the web page, and then click on project settings, set the range of vertical and horizontal motions to both be 0.

Sorry to be obtuse, but exactly where on the web site can you set this preference? The SETI preferences for the graphics don't appear to affect the screen saver at all and I can't find anything like project preferences that allow control of the 'rock and roll' feature. Thanks

Go to the following links:
Your Account
View or edit SETI@home preferences
Edit SETI@home preferences

Enter the following choices:
Graphic preferences: Custom
Horizontal Oscillation Range: 0
Vertical Oscillation Range: 0

Then select Update Preferences.

Let us know if that works! (The changes will be effective with the next work unit that you download.)

Fred,
Thanks for info. Tried settings and they did work, but this AM the graphics reverted to the old "rock and roll" style. Have checked preferences, which are ok, forced updates (and have had several upload/download cycles since) and shut down the BOINC and SETI programs and restarted. The SETI program doesn't use the preferences now.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again,
Dave

Keith,
Sorry about the "Fred". My brother is here talking to me and I just typed that autonomically.

There seems to be a graphics bug with the seti app version 4.07, hopefully it will be fixed in the next version.
