Battery drain: how do you deal with desktop wallpaper video constantly running in the background?
Coding an activation of moving video only when desktop is visible, otherwise keep static for minimum battery drain. Is this technically feasible?
I have to admit that I don't know if that's possible. I need to look at APIs but that's a great idea in general to have something like that. Maybe we can test for window positions of other apps, I'll have a look and report back.
In the meantime, to lower consumption, use the slider to change speed. The slower the speed, the less it will consume battery.
What if it triggers if a specific application is in the foreground? E.g. I use Show Desktop to hide all applications. It can either have A) Finder or B) Itself in the foreground.
I did some basic testing, it's possible to know roughly how covered the desktop is, so this is doable. Keep an eye for the next alpha, although no promise on timing.
