New setting: Dim the display
It would be great to have an additional setting just under "Keep player screen ON":
'Dim the display'
In another great app that I use, Music Folder Player, there is a setting:
3-dot menu in the upper right corner / User interface / Backlight:
• Dim backlight
• Allow backlight to turn off
• Keep backlight on
So, make it possible to dim the display. If one listens to long podcasts, then the difference between keeping the backlight on continuously on full (normal) brightness and keeping it on dimmed (to minimum brightness) could be huge.
The best way probably would be to replace your current settings with one that is similar to the above mentioned: click on the settings item, then choose from the 3 radio buttons what you prefer: dim/allow/keep.
And the current setting "Keep player screen ON" (whether on normal brightness or dimmed) only makes sense when something is playing; if there is nothing that is actually playing in the moment, then you most probably aren't interacting with the application, so there is no point keeping it on.
