Is there no one that responds to those that have trouble with Boinc on a MAC?

I have had questions here but no responses.

My issue now is with running Boinc 7.6.11 with Widget 3.0.0 on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.10.5.

Although the tasks are running quite nicely, I have no Screensaver. This option is inaccessible.

It either a bug or software instructions are lacking.

Charlie does listen, honestly. He released BOINC v7.6.12 this morning, specifically to address "SCR: Tweak mac screensaver for slightly better reliability."

Try that one, and let him know how you get on.

Thanks for the reply but my screen saver/show graphics still is not functioning with BOINC v7.6.12.

I have Seti@HOME running on two machines with both on OS 10.11

Hope this helps.

Best post through https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=78228 as I know for certain that Charlie is subscribed to that thread.
