Screensaver enhancements

Graphical design

Devise a general framework (using OpenGL) for displaying a mix of images and text. Show more info (like the simple GUI). Use 3D progress bars to show jobs in progress. Display logos and slide shows of running projects

User-supplied images

Add the ability to display user-supplied images, such as team logos or backgrounds.

RSS feeds

Add the ability to get and display RSS feeds (e.g., project notifications, Facebook, etc.).

Alternation with project graphics

Add the ability to alternate between the BOINC screensaver and project graphics every few minutes.

Configuration

It should be possible to configure the screensaver via a local file (which can be included with custom installs, e.g. GR) and also via web-based preferences (part of general prefs). Configuration options should include:

• ratio of BOINC screensaver time to project screensaver time
• etc
