Back in the old days, seti itsek used to be a screensaver for windows before the was boinc.

How do I control the sreensaver in Boinc in Windows 7?

I have the most recent version of SetiAhome.

Is there a way to stop the screensaver from moving around and rotating when viewing? Also is there any other screensaver graphics we can use other than the default one that is loaded when you install BOINC?

If you attach to projects like CPDN, Setiathome or Einstein you get their screensavers as well as the default Boinc screensaver,

You do know that a screen saver that doesn't move isn't much of a screen saver? You do know the meaning of the words screen saver? It's to make sure nothing burns in on your screen, and even with today's LCD and LED screens that's still a possibility.

But I suspect you mean the Seti screen saver? In that case, see here, how to stop it moving. Not sure if this is possible for any other project's screen savers, you'll have to check those yourself.

You can choose any screen saver from your OS, or any that you installed yourself, or just set it to None. BOINC can easily run the science applications without them showing their graphics.
