It'd be cool if Windows Terminal could be smart about battery consumption when in Low Power Mode or running on a battery (as opposed to a desktop being plugged in). Here's some ideas on what behavior could change:
- Acrylic ideas:
- Replace acrylic with mica
- Disable acrylic / fall back to HostBackdropAcrylic when in low power mode
- See also Investigate: AcrylicBlur always on in an inactive window #7158 - disable that fix when in battery saver mode
- also Add support for Acrylic and Opacity in "Unfocused Appearance" #11092
- Renderer: reduce refresh rate
- Feature Request: Reduce cursor blinking to save battery life #5318 Cursor: blink less often or don't blink at all
Battery saving optimizations we should just do regardless
- DispatchTimer is constantly running #12706
- Stop rendering when the terminal has been minimized/control has been hidden #1989
Put your ideas below!
