Description

Burn-in Prevention!

Helps protect OLED and other burn-in-prone displays during long play sessions. It dims the user interface, darkens the screen when your character stands still, blacks out the screen completely while you're AFK, and periodically nudges the UI by a few pixels so static elements don't sit on the same pixels for long periods.

 

Key Features:

  • Fullscreen Effect: When your character stays still for a set time, a dark overlay fades in. It fades out as soon as you move, turn, jump, or glide.
  • AFK Blackout: While you're flagged AFK the screen fades fully to black. Any keypress or mouse movement wakes it up and clears your AFK status.
  • Pixel Shift: Every so often the whole UI shifts a few pixels to the left or right (and sometimes up or down), then returns to its normal position.
  • User Interface Transparency: Dims the entire UI, with a separate setting for addon icons around the minimap. The minimap itself stays fully visible.
  • Combat Aware: Pixel shift never runs in combat, and the overlay can optionally stay hidden in combat too (on by default).
  • Edit Mode Friendly: Pixel shift pauses while Edit Mode is open, so frames don't move while you position them.
  • Pause All Effects: Turn off everything at once for screenshots, transmog, the Auction House, and similar. If you change it in combat, it applies when combat ends. It turns itself off on every login.
    Toggle Player Model: Hides or shows your own character, which often sits in the center of the screen for long periods.
  • Instant Changes: Settings take effect right away, with no reload needed.

Disclaimer:

This addon reduces the risk of burn-in but cannot prevent it entirely. For best results, also hide the UI from time to time, take breaks on loading screens (for example by using portals), minimize the game when you step away, and follow your monitor's burn-in prevention guidelines.
