Constant SCREENSAVER_INHIBIT_ACTIVITY_NAME

pub const SCREENSAVER_INHIBIT_ACTIVITY_NAME: &'static str;

Available on crate feature dep_sdl3 only.

Specify an “activity name” for screensaver inhibition.

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.
