As far as I know the transparency won't make the icons transparent. Just the background. Unless there's another way

Well, when I'm working I might be in a Word document, an IDE or something and it will be open for a few hours. In the meantime the taskbar is visible. But I just like to have it visible to switch to other apps whenever I want. But the burn-in would happen in a few months already. I also often have external monitors connected (or multiple monitors to my PC in the future), which also means that the taskbar will be less likely to change often. If the taskbar is smart enough to apply a few color changes, it would already help. Or move pixels around. Or change brightness as well. The changes need to be minimal (so the whole process is fine if it takes a few minutes), in order to not distract but it would be helpful in making OLED displays last longer. Of course I could set it to auto-hide but thats just not how I like to work and a short time to screensaver or something is only helpful if the computer isn't in use.

Recently I've started using StartAllBack on a device with OLED. I'm a big fan of always seeing the taskbar, but I know it's not really a good idea to have a static image on all the time, so is there a way that StartAllBack could get a feature that optimizes for OLED? To (at certain intervals) change the color of the pixels on the taskbar, or shift images around a bit in order to make sure the burn-in doesn't happen? I tried setting a background and make the taskbar somewhat transparent which makes sure a lot of pixels will be refreshed, but the stuff of icons and buttons on the taskbar will still remain the same color and brightness so I'm not sure if there's anything we can do about that. I would imagine an OLED friendly feature would make it interesting for a lot more users as well compared to the native taskbar.
