Feature add: a corner that prevents power settings from turning off screen #2

A feature I'm looking for is a corner that prevents the screen from shutting down either by screensaver or from power settings.

@Massbadetti you mean instead of screen off you want a option to enable screen saver?

Massbadetti commented 4 years ago

does screen off do that? My bad, I understood "Screen Off" as "It turns the Screen Off".

@Massbadetti screen off turns off your monitor it doesn't enables screen saver, so do you want a option to enable screen saver rather than turning off your monitor?

No, the opposite. What I'd like to have is a hot corner action where the screen does not turn off. For example, I have specified in power settings that the monitor turns off after 3 minutes of inactivity. But sometimes I might leave my PC rendering or copying something and I need the monitor turned on even if I'm not using it. That's where an action like that would be helpful: I start the rendering, park the mouse in the hot corner and the screen stays on until I take the mouse out of that corner. I am now using a third party app (Caffeinated) just for this but a hot corner action would be even better.

@Massbadetti thanks for clarifying buddy, will definitely add this option but cant promise a deadline for it,all i can promise for is i will add this soon so this i what i understood: a option to keep your screen on even when your screen turns off due to inactivity
