The reason "solution needed" is added is because we need to create a virtual framebuffer for the stream decks, unrelated to the page-number each stream deck is at. So there need to be some changes in the companion-core to enable screensavers. And some decisions to make on how we do it. It's not that we do not know how to draw images to the stream deck ;)

I have a solution in mind. But no time to implement it at the time.

Perhaps an easy solution to begin with? Auto dimming after some configurable timeout of button pushes? Perhaps something as crude as a timer (user configurable duration) that sets a user configurable dimming value. Timer is reset by button pushes. If Timer elapses, timer stops & device is dimmed. Any button pushes re-trigger timer.

Whatever happened to this? Any news? Will it make into a final 2.2.0 release?
