Turn off monitor when you lock computer or laptop
Have you ever wondered whats the use of monitor styaing turned on when you lock your computer ? Computers are locked mostly when we go for a break or for any other work and our availability is not possible.
As a practice most of the IT companies or even people at home pre configure the system to turn on the computer screen saver after 2 to 5 minutes, but if we can turn of the monitor as soon as you lock workstation or desktop lock [ win + L ], the amount of energy we can save at this time of rescission would be in big numbers.
Umakanth has created a small program, Monitores, which can either turn off your monitor or start running the screensaver as soon as you lock the computer. It’s still at very initial level of development but we can see more in future.
The program works well as I tested on my computer. The only and important thing missing is the close button for this application. I had to kill it from the task manager. Probably the author would implement in the next release.

Hi All ,
I have purposely disabled Close button in the main window, When you minimize using minimize button it will stay in the tray and right click menu you will have close button.
