He hasn't been seen anywhere on the internet since last August, not even his github site has been updated, so VALE SMURPHOS!

The author of those themes (Mike M/smurphos) appears to have succumbed to COVID. The Cinnamox themes have window borders that are setup for better scaling on 4k. I'll deal with that first then I'll tell you why all is not lost.ġ) System Settings > Power Management > 10 minutes.ģ) System Settings > Screensaver > both locks offĤ) Wait ten minutes then jiggle your moose.Īs for all not being lost, you can use smoke and mirrors to hide the problem:Ī) fiddle with brightness and contrast a little.ī) select a lighter background or a darker one to see what works best.Ĭ) load some additional themes, especially the Cinnamox themes for 4k window borders, and experiment with mixing and matching. any software I can install for that, like some kind of app that slightly moves windows around without being too invasive? Probably only need to move by like no more than 10 pixels. The burn in is still going to be an issue when I'm actively using the PC though. I see no option anywhere to change the actual screensaver, only to turn it on or off. The screensaver I have just does a fading thing. Note, I just want it to blank, not turn off. How did you set the screen to blank? I suppose that will be the best option anyway. 4k is a bigger benefit for computers as you get more work space. There is not much selection on the market for 4k monitors either, I don't get why, when all the TVs are 4k now. I really did not think burn in was still a thing. Sucks to hear that I basically got screwed though. Unfortunately it's been at least a year since I owned them, I only really noticed this problem now since I happened to have a coding window up placed the same way for a long time then switched to another window that had a dark background and now I have a noticible burn in line going right down 1/3 of the monitor and if I look around some more I see lot of other spots too.
