Hi all,
i thought it would be good if i could ask if there is any chance of a clock that could be added to the boinc screensaver.
it would be a real neet addon and would save us haveing to knock off the screensaver to see the time.
thanx all,

Mr. Riddler

This is probably not the best place to ask such questions, because people who develop BOINC rarely visit these forums.
Better place to post your suggestion (which is quite good) is SETI@home message board at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_index.php (this project is developed by BOINC developers), or BOINC email lists at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/email_lists.php

prehaps a wall-clock? then your monitor doesn't even need to be on

also you should have the screensaver blank after a few minutes so save cycles, so it's sort of pointless having a clock in the SS

the albert app from einstein displays a clock, so you could allocate more resources to them to see it more often, there are optimised apps available for einstein now, so you can crunch with older machines now
