[FEATURE REQ] being consistent with KDE settings about clight HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi!
I actually think it is a bit out of scope for Clight (and a bit too hard given its little manpower, ie: me with less and less spare time 😄 )
I think a small wiki page would be enough; would you mind working on that? You already have repo access eheh

I suggest an easy way with KDE.

By default, don't switch off the screen, let KDE manage the feature “screen energy saving “switch off the screen after a delay””

That's all. KDE is a poor tool to manage the screen.

For “suspend to ram or disk” I assume this is the OS which manages these features and switch off the screen.

Yep but then all the people using Clight in a simpler environment (like no DE at all, just wm), would have to tinker with Clight conf file; i don't like that from an UX perspective.
Perhaps i can try to manually set default value for DPMS, DIMMER to on or off by checking at runtime if Clight is running in a DE; wdyt?

For “suspend to ram or disk” I assume this is the OS which manages these features and switch off the screen.

Note that Clight does not manage Suspend, it just manages DPMS (that is different, it just switches off the screen but does not suspend the system).

Note however that i am not that convinced about this feature; it is disruptive for people that today run Clight with default settings on DEs.
I still think that best is for Clight to default to enable everything, and just let user disable features she/he does not need.

I am going to close this one; i think it is out of scope for Clight (i am spring-cleaning issues :D )
Feel free to reopen if you still got any doubt! Thank you!
