[Feature] option to switch lights off on program exit #57

Hi, it would be nice if there where an option to switch off the lights, on program exit.

I use eventghost for this and other similar automatic changes in lights. Just an idea in case you like it.

I second this idea. Screenbloom currently only stores the light state (brightness and hue) when stopping. Would be nice if it could also keep track of the on/off state.

@Aerinx @Kakifrucht great ideas. I used to have a button to just turn the lights on/off but took it out because I didn't think that functionality was very necessary and just kinda cluttered things up. But this is definitely not the first time since then I've heard that people would like to be able to turn their lights on/off via ScreenBloom.

Currently mulling around a December update to coincide with the Entertainment Update and will figure out a way to fit this in. Returning to the starting on/off state when ScreenBloom is stopped is a no-brainer as well.
