1) Message boards : Questions and problems : BOINC Screensaver information for OS 10.13 High Sierra (Message 83207) Posted 25 Nov 2017 by egbailer Post: To be clear, you're saying that even if I use, say, my G-Force screen saver, Bionic will still run? I'm just understanding that Bionic runs in the background whenever the CPU is not busy, or significantly busy doing other tasks. Ah yes, I see the project elapsed time increasing even as I write this message, but I have Bionic Manager open and running. Does Bionic Manager have to be open for it to run in the background or will it do so anyway? I sure do hope the various project managers/software writers do come up with a fix for MacOS High Sierra soon. Oh, by the way, I'm referring to SETI@home. I love watching the graphics - I have them running in its own window - just wish I could stop them from rotating. Those unaware of how to see them, in the Bionic Manager window, select "Task Commands" and in the drop down menu, select "Show graphics". A separate window will open with those colorful SETI graphics which you could then resize or go full screen with them to simulate the screen saver.
