    Hello everybody, I was googeling on the web but couldn't find anythink
    useful, so Im about to ask you guys.

    Is there any chance to implement a plugin simply counting the time, you
    are idle-ing? I would find it extrem useful to let rivatuner set your Monitor
    brightness to about 50% if you are idle-ing more than 10 Minutes and
    dont move the mouse or tip a word.

    If you have any ideas feel free to diskuss this!

    I'm pretty sure none exists. Why not use power savings features in Windows?

    I'm pretty sure Windows Power Saving Options can't dim you monitor to 50% brightness whereas RivaTuner "could" load whole different profiles.

    Doesnt sound to complex to make such an addon, can somebody make it? Or tell me if it is possible and where I can get a little bit into the material.

    I see no sense in including such plugin in RT, sorry. However, you can easily create it yourself, I see no problems with implementation. To implement it you'll need to install low-level keyboard and mouse hooks in your plugin then count time after the last low-level input event and return this time as output value.
