Would it be possible to lock the screen or otherwise disable the touch sensor without turning the screen itself off? Maybe a long press on the SkyDemon logo to lock/unlock? On a related note, to extend battery life, would it be possible to auto-dim the screen after 30 seconds but to restore full brightness with a single touch, even when in "locked" mode? Cheers, T67M

Would it be possible to lock the screen or otherwise disable the touch sensor without turning the screen itself off? Maybe a long press on the SkyDemon logo to lock/unlock? I'd love to see something like this too. I have my Nexus 7 in a case, and I tuck the screen protection bit of the case underneath the plog on my kneeboard. If I then fold the Nexus out of the way to write on the plog, I sometimes get 'random' touches on the screen, and I think I've even managed to quit SkyDemon completely doing this. The ability to lock the touch part of the screen save for a small area to unlock it again would be very useful. Any chance this could be included? Andy Edited 5/8/2014 1:31:59 PM by adhawkins

There could be an option: Auto dim when running on batteries after xx seconds. A.
