Is there a way to change the screen saver activation delay time?
----------------------------------------Is there a way to change the screen saver to be a blank screen? Thanks, Drew [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Sep 5, 2010 3:17:38 PM] |

Both features are available in the BOINC screensaver
----------------------------------------1. When it should start after X minutes idle time 2. When it should blank out so the energy saving feature of display can kick in. This FAQ explains it for the 6.10 client: http://bit.ly/d2NfGN Access to the screensaver controls is as normal for all Windows ... via the display control panel. (assuming you're on Windows)

Searching Control Panel for boinc yields no results.
Searching Control Panel for screen saver yields nothing that looks like boinc's screen saver controls. I found it by looking at the screen saver controls. It had changed my screen saver options to World Community Grid. I never saw the screen that your link displayed. |

OK, good you got it solved. Would you please edit the opening post title and insert [RESOLVED] in there as what I did with this reply. Then we know the case is complete.
----------------------------------------Probably you have a client from before 6.10.25 which only has a time delay to start and a time to blank the display. When the WCG screensaver showed, it almost surely was either 6.2.28 or 5.10.45 that you run. cheers
