# Screen On

Screen On keeps your screen on while running. [SetThreadExecutionState](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-setthreadexecutionstate) system call is used to achieve that.

Active state is indicated by yellow icon in Windows taskbar. The program turns off when it gets focus e. g. the icon is clicked. A shortcut is supposed to be pinned to taskbar so Screen On can be easily activated.
