Yes, it does (so far as I know); I haven't put in any code to determine the state of the screen. I guess I hadn't really planned on leaving it up and running all the time, but that would make sense if you leave it as a widget, wouldn't it... Hmm. Would it be better to shut Fettuccine off completely when the screen is dark, or perhaps give it a very slow refresh rate instead? It might be nice to have a relatively up-to-date image ready when you bring the screen back up... Although forcing the user to wait for a refresh shouldn't be too much of a hassle.
