It'd be cool if Windows Terminal could be smart about battery consumption when in Low Power Mode or running on a battery (as opposed to a desktop being plugged in). Here's some ideas on what behavior could change:

Battery saving optimizations we should just do regardless

Put your ideas below!

Here's some ideas on what behavior could change: - Acrylic ideas: - Replace acrylic with mica - Disable acrylic / fall back to HostBackdropAcrylic when in low power mode - See also #7158 - disable that fix when in battery saver mode - also #11092 - Renderer: reduce refresh rate - [ ] #5318 Cursor: blink less often or don't blink at all ### Battery saving optimizations we should just do regardless - [ ] #12706 - [ ] #1989 Put your ideas below!

Also see #5318, which we should probably just do always

For reduced framerate, note that more and more devices provide at least 90Hz refresh rate display with high DPI, so it will be especially relevant there.
