Phosphor burn-in #98

Open proedie opened 9 years ago

proedie commented 9 years ago

Okay, I have a great idea for a new feature. (At least I think so.) Phosphor burn-in!

Of course, it probably would be too complicated to actually capture the screen and wait until a burn-in would have occured, but users could still choose something to be burned-in.

Default could be user@host:~$ in the first line, for example. Also, users could click on a 'Burn-in now!' button to burn-in whatever is on the screen in that moment.

Cheers!

Hi, this is something very very neat that I will consider adding in the future. It was something already mentioned in the past but I really like the Burn-in now feature, I think this is simple and effective.

A dynamic type of burn-in would be cool, not necessarily simulating something permanent, but if you can determine which pixels are stuck on for extended lengths of time, they could fade out much slower than other parts of the screen. Imagine exiting a screen or tmux session and their persistent status bars take a while to go away :P
