Likely the flash. Can't really be helped on devices without proper Eclipse waveform modes (i.e,, Mk 8+). (I mean, if you want to keep the flash, that is :D. And you generally do.).
(IIRC, there's a Plato fork that attempts to modulate the frontlight level during nightmode refreshes, but that's extremely difficult to achieve in a consistent manner across a wide range of devices in my experience (outside of doing in in-kernel), so, YMMV).
@NiLuJe, thanks for the information. Flash contributes to the situation and I don't want to deal with the kernel space on e-readers yet, I am new to this stuff 😄
The issue that I am having is related to the Plato though, it isn't about hardware or kernel. I opened the issue as a feature request
but I think that it is a Plato bug.
I've skimmed through the code and I found this: https://github.com/baskerville/plato/blob/81f19ab0f2d8dfba78fad0c8b642b02393097b1f/crates/core/src/view/intermission.rs#L62-L67
It looks like the code handles what I was asking (using black background in sleep
screen if color is inverted) but there are if fb.inverted() {
code blocks following that. So, I think the code undoes the change it did in the first place.
I think it should just be
let scheme = TEXT_NORMAL;
or something similar.
To make the my suggestion clear visually, in stock Plato 0.9.40
, Home screen with inverted color and Sleeping
screen with white background:
When reading in the dark and
Invert Colors
enabled, if the e-reader suspends,Sleeping
intermission screen uses white background and for a few seconds frontlight glares. It hurts the eyes even with the low frontlight intensity.At least when
Invert Colors
is enabled, theSleeping
screen should use black blackground (similar toPowered off
intermission screen).Aura Edition 2 Version 1
