Comment Modifying SETI's graphics (Score 1) 263
The graphics have taken a step backwards with the new BOINC version but one can approximate the old display by visiting the new SETI main page, clicking on the "Your Account" link, then Preferences: SETI@home "View/Edit", "Edit SETI@home preferences". Set the Graphics Preferences to "Custom" and press the Update Preferences button. Then click "Edit SETI@home preferences" again and set all numeric values to 0 with the exception of Transparency of Surfaces.
Next, go back to the BOINC client, select the Projects tab, right-click on SETI@home and select "Update". To view the graphics, in the BOINC client click on the Work tab, then right-click the application currently running and select "Show Graphics".
Much more complicated than the old client but this seems to be the new reality.
