We need a screen saver. It helps us in recruiting when non-crunchers come past our desks. Screen savers are a great calling card. Please visit my Blog

just came by the forums to post this exact thing, I have been an LHC@home member for a while and they JUST started sending WU\'s and I noticed I suddenly had a new screensaver and it was so exciting! And the screensaver is so simple, its just a bunch of colored particles flying around and a status bar, it also says what team you are on. What is the status of the screensaver? I know that its been on the backburner for a long time now, but the above poster is right, it would seriously help recruit non-crunchers. Even my girlfriend was excited when I told her the new screensaver was us helping the particle accelerator because she actually has heard about it. Jack |

Yes an optional screen saver would be nice. |

At least show some picture explaining newest research results. Like World Community Grid's tasks do. |

This sounds like a great idea! I will bring it to the attention of our system administrator. Best wishes, Faik --- Member of The C@H Team! At least show some picture explaining newest research results. Like World Community Grid's tasks do. |

This sounds like a great idea! I will bring it to the attention of our system administrator. The original request for a screen saver (2 Oct, 2008) is over 6 years old. Obviously there are programmers available with the needed skills, or BOINC and C@H itself could not run on the many platforms it does. Thus it would seem that C@H has no intention of providing the requested screen savers. Have I mis-read matters? Bill |
