MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Full refresh before displaying screensaver

NiLuJe · 02-12-2019, 11:33 AM

The automatic timeout is set to 60 minutes by default, and I don't think it's available to set anywhere in the UI. I don't even rightly recall how you can customize it OTOH.

On which device is that? And which KOReader version? And in which ScreenSavers mode?

I killed an extra useless refresh in the nightlies a few days ago, but the ScreenSaver itself should still flash, which should prevent much of the potential for ghosting, at least on most devices.

(The best way to actually handle this would be a flash to a white screen *before* showing the ScreenSaver. Recent Nickel versions opt to show the ScreenSaver without a flash, then flash on top of that, which works okay, but may introduce a few artefacts).

I'm going to take a wild guess and say this is an Aura?
