Tray bar app to temporarily inhibit screensaver and sleep mode.

Project description

build status version on pypi licence

Caffeine is a little daemon that sits in your systray, and prevents the screensaver from showing up, or the system 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.

System requirements

  • Either a screensaver that implements the org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver API (this includes KDE, amongst others) API, gnome-screensaver, XSS and/or DPMS, xautolock.

Hacking

  • To run: ./bin/caffeine

  • To compile translations: ./update_translations

If you want to test out a translation without changing the language for the whole session: “LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 ./bin/caffeine” (Replace ru_RU.UTF-8 with whatever language you want to use. You will need to a language pack for the specific language) Be aware that some stock items will not be translated unless you log in with a given language.
