The rotating grafics are horrible.


There is a way to stop it, but I don't have the link. Perhaps someone else could help you, if your so kind to ask politely.


Its even pretty simple to do. Under your account page just click on the "View or edit SETI@home preferences" link. Under "Graphics Preferences" select "custom." When you save that setting and re-edit your Seti preferences you'll get a whole bunch of new fields that you can adjust. To stop the rotating graphics all you need to do is set "Horizontal oscillation range" and "Vertical oscillation range" both to 0.

The rotating drove me nuts, but it was pretty easy to search these forums for the solution.

You guys do know that you can adjust the settings on the screen saver and eliminate the rocking, right? If you set the horizontal and vertical oscillation rates to "0" the thing won't rock back and forth anymore.

Open BOINC, go to the "work" tab, right click on the work unit and select "view grahic"
