OLED care actions on set time of inactivity

eisbar1808 commented 1 year ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Perform a range of (toggled on/off) actions on inactivity after a certain time. Revert actions when activity detected again, if possible.

Actions:

Hide taskbar if not set to auto-hide in system settings
Minimize all windows
---Apply to certain displays or all displays
Hide desktop icons if not set to hidden in desktop settings
Lock screen (overrides the above options)
Disable HDR mode if active

Additional settings:

Set time of inactivity in minutes
Require fullscreen playback or game mode to ignore inactivity on/off

Scenario when this would be used?

A set of measures to prevent burn-in for OLED display users which would complement the typical range of features built into the hardware itself, like pixel shifting and such. Aimed at short breaks, it helps improve the longevity of OLED displays without permanently disabling certain system options if user would like to keep them.

In combination with third-party live wallpaper functionality (e.g. Wallpaper Engine) may serve as screensaver with vastly greater customization.

Supporting information

The growing number and availability of OLED PC monitors in 2023.
