    33The 'simple GUI' available in versions 5.8+ of the BOINC Manager uses graphical representations of projects and applications:
    44
    5 
    65 * The project is represented by a 40x40 pixel icon.
    76 * Each application is represented by a sequence of images, each up to 290x126 pixels. These are shown as a slideshow, changing once every few seconds.
    87
    9  For example, in the following screenshot of the simple GUI, the two icons at the bottom represent CPDN and SETI@home, and the earth-map image in the middle represents the particular CPDN application that is currently running.  [[Image(http://boinc.berkeley.edu/images/newboinc.jpg)]]

    1012== Specifying project files ==
    11  Project graphics files are specified in a configuration file '''project_files.xml''' that you put in your project's root directory. This file specifies a set of 'project files' that will be automatically downloaded to clients (this can be used for purposes other than graphics).

     14Project graphics files are specified in a configuration file '''project_files.xml''' that you put in your project's root directory. This file specifies a set of 'project files' that will be automatically downloaded to clients (this can be used for purposes other than graphics).

    1316The format of 'project_files.xml' is:

    31       For each file, this specifies:
    3233
     34For each file, this specifies:
    3335
    3436 * its URL (where to download it from)
     
    3739 * its logical name; a 'soft link' file will be created with this name, linking to the physical name.
    3840
    39  All file_info records must appear before the project_files record. As with all BOINC files, project files are immutable. If you want to change the contents of a file, you must use a new physical name.

    6463 * The '01' in stat_icon_01.png is used for versioning.
    65  * The physical name for the project icon is 'stat_icon_01.png'   while the logical name for the project icon is 'stat_icon'.   The manager looks for 'stat_icon' and resolves   it to a physical name.

    6766Application Slideshow You can have one or more images displayed in the Simple GUI when BOINC is running one of your apps. Each image can have a height up to 126px and a width up to 290px, and can be any of the following image types: PNG, JPG, GIF, and BMP.
