# nonsleep-screen
This is a simple GTK-based program written in C that allows you to toggle sleep inhibition (preventing the screen from automatically turning off) on Ubuntu Desktop.
## Requirements
- **GTK 3** development libraries
- Install via: `sudo apt update && sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev`
## What It Does (simple!)
- Provides a small window with:
- A **button** to toggle sleep inhibition on and off.
- A **label** showing the current status of sleep inhibition, displayed in bold and color:
- **Green** text for "Enabled"
- **Red** text for "Disabled"
## Build and Run
1. **Build the Program**
Run `make` in the project directory to compile the program into `main.out`.
2. **Run the Program**
Execute the program with:
```bash
./main.out
3. (Optional) If you want to register the compiled binary as an application for your Ubuntu Desktop, run `./register_as_app.sh` with a root(`sudo`) permission. It eliminates the need of manually opening the terminal, finding the path of `main.out` of this project, and manually run.
```bash
sudo ./register_as_app.sh
```
