The BOINC default screen saver and project screen savers do not work under any of the beta versions of Mac OS 10.13 High Sierra. I have filed a bug report with Apple. The bug is still open, so I hope that Apple will resolve the problem before public release of OS 10.13.
But I wanted to give everyone a heads up that we may need to make changes in the way BOINC displays screen savers on the Mac if Apple does not resolve this. I have been exploring possible ways to work around the issue, and have identified some possibilities. My preference, of course, is to find a solution which works with the existing project graphics apps, but that seems unlikely at this point. Failing that, I hope to develop a solution that will only require recompiling your graphics apps with an updated API library. I am reluctant to go into any greater detail at this point, since my use of Apple's beta software is covered by a non-disclosure agreement. But my knowledge and understanding of OpenGL and GLUT are extremely limited, so I may need help from people who have expertise in these frameworks, including OpenGL extensions (GL_EXT_*).
