All Black Screen

Some months back I built http://keylight.us to use my second monitor as a light during video meetings.

I love these one domain one function web apps. Can't say I will use it, but good on you for rolling it out.

it's a cute little project that probably more people need/would like to have as one might think. Well Done. My solution for a long time was a shortcut to a blank screensaver.…

People are posting all sorts of code one-liners to do this, but... what happened to just pressing the power button? Pros: ``` * Only 1 keypress per display * The button is…

My off white "back / home / app switch" bar remains so it's not even close to being all black. (chrome on android. Works on ff.) > Save energy Only on one type of oled? It's more…

And the backlight (presumably 99% of power usage) is on no matter what you do with your pixels.

as other poster mentioned, some LCDs have voltage = white and some have voltage = black. it's certainly not majority, and it doesn't matter anyway because the backlight stays on…

the mouse pointer is still there... So not completely black :-)

Can confirm, requestPointerLock() should be also called.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you. I use my second monitor the same way, but I just quickly google the name of a color before a meeting. I know it's only a few…

Nice! Might benefit from hiding the mouse cursor on idle. Something like: https://gist.github.com/kidGodzilla/33ad45808e995a7e3ec714fd83db3017

Very cool! More colour choices would be great. Sometimes I use my second screen just for face illumination during video calls. I found that ft.com salmon-pink is one of the…

it is possible to choose any color by: right click > inspect > editing `.color.* {background-color:#______}`

This doesn't work for Vivaldi for some reason. I get a dark grey screen, text says "Press esc to exit full screen mode" for a few seconds, then that disappears leaving just the…

Works fine for me on Vivaldi. I get the "Press esc to exit full screen mode" message but see the colours just fine.

Doesn’t work properly on iOS Brave. The first one worked but the others displayed a video which was oriented the wrong way (landscape vs portrait).

I was inspired to do something similar, a bookmarklet: ``` javascript:let b=document.body;b.bgColor="black";b.innerText="";b.requestFullscreen() ```

Since a few month I have a tab with this URL: data:text/html,<html style="background:black;"><head><title>Black</title></head></html> I don't need it very often, but turning the…

``` javascript: (()=> {const div = document.createElement('div'); div.style.background = 'black'; document.body.appendChild(div); div.requestFullscreen();})(); ``` You could add…

If you haven't switched to Wayland (don't know what the equivalent on there is): ``` xset dpms force off ``` Move the mouse to wake the screen.

it's a cute little project that probably more people need/would like to have as one might think. Well Done. My solution for a long time was a shortcut to a blank screensaver.…

I might be missing a trick. Some options, listed below, do most of the things and even those which the FAQ admits are beyond its scope. Amongst a multitude of alternatives, I…
