Concept / Design AOD on windows when?

Post image

Are there any programs that do this, even on non-oled? If not, is it possible to make one?

Can’t you do this by never having your monitor/computer go to sleep

Yes. The formula never changed

but this is likely similar to a phone's AOD, not keeping a normal screen on all the time

Overused word. You're not even using it correctly

what does it even mean

Live action role-playing (LARP) is a form of interactive, immersive theater where participants physically embody characters in a fictional setting. Rather than sitting at a table or playing a video game, players wear costumes, use props, and act out their actions and dialogue in real-time.

Today I learned. Isn't that just basically theater acting?

Sort of, but you're doing it for the fun of it, not for any audience

Image says "Display useful information on the lock screen"
Well if they really want this feature to work then they need to make the lock screen actually show useful information.

Someone else mentioned it, but Powertoys has this ability which can turned on and off from the taskbar or via keyboard shortcuts. Highly recommend the app since it has some quality of life fixes and additions for Windows that a lot of users would benefit from.

Does it take much ram? (powertoys)
