Interesting idea! I'm not sure if I correctly understand what you mean, though: Should the progress bar be shown immediately when the computer is inactive? If so, I think this is too much noise, because moments of inactivity happen all the time. Starting a countdown some period before the actual auto-suspend/shutdown happens, on the other hand, does make sense, like e.g. one minute or 30 seconds before it happens. Note that 8 seconds before the machine will suspend or the screen will turn off, it will fade the screen to black, so you can Ninja-wiggle your mouse to prevent that from happening. This could be interesting as a complementary plasmoid which serves in a screen-lock/power-saving capacity aimed at desktop machines. This would also be handy for business users keeping an eye on power usage, and also fulfils the "simple by default" mantra in regards to those tasks, offering a faster route to adjust some of these settings. You could have a system tray icon with a circular indicator displaying time remaining until a "session disrupting" event is triggered, such as screen-lock or power event; whichever comes first. The tooltip (and maybe a mini-icon?) would tell you which. For the popup it could offer a few quick sliders to tweak the time for screen-lock and power events, suspend, etc. Maybe a buttons along the bottom for lock, logout, suspend, and power down. I imagine to be a In the System tray it could be a circular graph indicating time-to-sleep/shutdown/lock. Created attachment 95784 [details] attachment-15206-0.html Hello. This is of course just an idea. I didn't thought about every aspekt of it. This idea becomes, when my wife waching movie on flash player, and pointing me again, to turn off completely screen saver and power managment. which in my mind is not a solution for that. New version of kde/kubuntu holds screen saver for full screen app and html player which is great, but hard to know is my computer is going to suspend. I have set 5 minutes for screen to go off and session to lock. This is greate when I develope, but it is lame setting for watching movie. So... we need some kind of indicator for this. Maybe as kwin effect, maybe as plasma widget (we already have energy managment widget- why not to extend his usability for end user?). I hope it will be introduced in near future. I use kde from 3rd version, and I really like the way it is going to.

As Kai said, the screen dims before sleep, alerting you 2. You can now see power management inhibitions in the Battery & Brightness applet. |
