This terminal emulator really is the prettiest out of all I've tried! The only issue I have with it is it's power consumption, as it makes my laptop's battery last quite a bit less.

I assume one easy way to somewhat mitigate this would be to add an option to limit FPS to some specified value when unfocused/minimized. For reference, this is the power draw I measured with different FPS on an intel 9750h laptop.

@benjweaver could you please update on this? Might be willing to work on it, but would have to check out the code further.

i think the original assignee have disappeared, as 1 study year already passed

regarding the feature itself - wouldn't it make sense to fully skip redraw while window is inactive? as drawing even 1 frame per second doesn't make any sense to me, if the window is invisible
