+Starting with BOINC version 6.0,
+applications graphics are generated by a separate program.
+The only constraints on this program are:
+
+ * If invoked with --fullscreen, it must open a full-screen borderless window, and must exit when mouse or keyboard input occurs.
+ * Otherwise it must open a standard window; in this case it may handle mouse/keyboard input.
+
+The BOINC graphics API (described below) provides cross-platform support for
+developing such a program;
+however, you need not use it.
+
+The logical name of the program must be 'v6graphics'.
+When you set up your application version directory, give it a filename like
+{{{
+v6graphics=uc2_graphics_5.10_windows_intelx86.exe
+}}}
