I've been messing around with the different aspects of the "Show Graphics" of the "Commands" block in the "Tasks" tab of the BOINC Manager. I've found out how to the get the label to stop rotating everywhere so I can read it, but I've been unable to find a setting that will keep the bar graph from rotating. I liked how Classic was that kept it at a certain angle and I could look (or actually watch) my PC's calculating each segment of the WU at hand.

Is there a setting to keep this graphic from rotating? If so, please advise how I can do this.

Anyones assistance is greatly apprectiated. Thank you in advance.

p.s. I'm also running the latest version of BOINC.

I found these setting you mentioned, but the graph that is contantly changing is the one that is rotating. Anyway to stop that? Thanks again.

The graph is supposed to change so that it doesn't burn-in your screen. It did that in Classic too. AFAIK, there is no way to stop it from rotating. Of course, I'd be afraid of how many complaints we'd get about burn-in if you could. 8-/

Ageless,
Thanks for the settings. After BOINC contacted the server, the graphics stopped spinning around. :) Now I don't have to click and hold the mouse to see it crunching numbers. Thanks again...

Regards,
Steve
