You will have to select a running task before the "Show graphics" button is enabled. This will only happen on projects that actually have their own screen saver/graphics program. It will not happen on mosts tasks running on a GPU, as normally no project sends a graphics application along with a CUDA application. The Einstein project is an exception to this rule.

After update to latest build of SETI, Show Graphics is now greyed out. Even if I click on the active task(s) it remains greyed out.

Which project and what sort of task?
Does that project have a screen saver/graphics app?
Is the project actually running -- not suspended (due to whatever, time of day for instance)?

That problem seems to arise more often now. See also here.

Developers might want to consider to end this greying when there's no project graphics and instead than offer the standard BOINC SS progress info screen.

I only see my graphics option disabled throughout the day, when my projects are suspended due to time of day . I only allow BOINC to run throughout the night, at lower energy rates. When I set BOINC to run always, the graphics button activates immediately on any of the tasks I check. Back to run based on preferences and the button grays out. Normal, I'd think.

OK, this has now been recognized by the developers as a now-you-see-it-now-you-don't bug. This means that they will take a look at it, but cannot give a time frame as to when this will be fixed, as it doesn't always happen.
