Feature request: Disabling Screen curtain #2

Open goodwillcoding opened 5 years ago

goodwillcoding commented 5 years ago

Hi @sunwxg,

Thank you for this wonderful extension. Have you considered disabling screen curtain as a feature for this extension? I've been playing with something like (not terribly successfully since recent gnome) and when I saw your extension I wondered if it made sense to have it part of it.

I think this feature maybe can be added to my another extension gnome-shell-extension-unblank.

@sunwxg

Can you clarify wht unblank is for that extension?

Or what "Enable and disable unblank function"/"Open Unlock Dialog Background" this one is.

Are both of them it supposed to keep the screen on so the screensaver / screen curtain shows?

sunwxg commented 5 years ago

Unblank screen means when screen is locked, screen will not become black, monitor is always on. Of course screen show the screen curtain. You can try this extension.

@sunwxg oh I tried it before but I think it was conflicting with some other extension and it screen was still going to sleep. Tried it again now and it works nicely!

So by the same comparisson what does Open Unlock Dialog Background" toggle supposed to do? Verbiage confuses me and it does not seem to have the same effect as unblank extension

nevermind I got it. Given how this is a function in lock screen the enable and disable functions are empty so there needs to be some toggle to turn it off and on
