A status bar application able to temporarily prevent the activation of both the screensaver and the "sleep" powersaving mode.
Project description
Caffeine is a little daemon that sits in you systray, and prevents the screensaver from showing up, or the systems from going to sleep. It does so when an application is fullscreened (eg: youtube), or when you click on the systray icon (which you can do, when, eg: reading).
This is a fork of Caffeine 2.4, since later versions dropped support for the systray icon in favour of only automatic detection of fullscreen apps only, which resulted rather controversial.
The intention of this fork is to also evolve on its own, not only fixing issues, but also implemented missing features, when relevant.
Caffeine-ng was shortly know as Taurine, a play on its successor’s name, since taurine is a known stimulant, commonly found in energy drinks. However, this name did not last, since the artwork would not match adequately, and changing it was undesirable.
