SDL_HINT_SCREENSAVER_INHIBIT_ACTIVITY_NAME(3) | SDL3 FUNCTIONS | SDL_HINT_SCREENSAVER_INHIBIT_ACTIVITY_NAME(3) |
NAME¶
SDL_HINT_SCREENSAVER_INHIBIT_ACTIVITY_NAME - Specify an "activity name" for screensaver inhibition.
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>
#define SDL_HINT_SCREENSAVER_INHIBIT_ACTIVITY_NAME "SDL_SCREENSAVER_INHIBIT_ACTIVITY_NAME"
DESCRIPTION¶
Some platforms, notably Linux desktops, list the applications which are inhibiting the screensaver or other power-saving features.
This hint lets you specify the "activity name" sent to the OS when SDL_DisableScreenSaver() is used (or the screensaver is automatically disabled). The contents of this hint are used when the screensaver is disabled. You should use a string that describes what your program is doing (and, therefore, why the screensaver is disabled). For example, "Playing a game" or "Watching a video".
Setting this to "" or leaving it unset will have SDL use a reasonable default: "Playing a game" or something similar.
This hint should be set before calling SDL_DisableScreenSaver()
AVAILABILITY¶
This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
