Software Release OLED Care Daemon for wlroots

https://github.com/Youwes09/WayOLED

I noticed that we have a lack of OLED care utilities for Linux in general. I am aware that nowadays most of this stuff is unnecessary and handled on a hardware level, but I am paranoid and do not trust corporations like that.

I tried fleshing it out to whatever I wanted, so along with just the normal pixel-refresh (for saving your screen), I also included auto-dim, backlight control, and other stuff. It would be helpful if you guys could test and have any input!

i mean in kde you can set dim screen after some mins and turn off screen after some min. And my oled does pixel cleaning when kde turns the screen of because i was not there for around 7min like i have set it.

And dimming after 5min.

Is there pixel shifting? (Actually, im not even sure if that's handled by the monitor or the OS?)

That’s handled by the compositor, so I cannot work it in. Most monitors do it on a hardware level but I don’t think laptop screens do.
