Description moritz 2023-05-25 14:09:40 UTC 
I recently bought an OLED monitor and set the monitor to shut off after 3 minutes in the KDE settings.
A running stopwatch in Kronometer stops that from happening and I don't think it should because it significantly increases the chance of burn in if the monitor stays on when you don't expect it to.
Even if the PC goes into standby mode, Kronometer should still be able to calculate the difference between the current time and the time when the stopwatch was started.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  go into energy settings and make sure screen power management is enabled
2.  start Kronometer
3.  press on start
4.  wait until you monitor should turn off

OBSERVED RESULT
monitor never turns off

EXPECTED RESULT
monitor should be able to turn off if no other application is stopping it
