I'm using WhileIdle on two machines.
You should consider changing three changes:
- WhileIdle is visible if you switch between programs with ALT+TAB, it should be hidden
- There should be an option to hide WhileIdle from the task list (this is possible, I've done this years ago)
- Alternatively make WhileIdle installable as a service, I used "Servify This" but it didn't work for some reasons
I also attempted to have WhileIdle run as a serivice to see if I could have it kick in if no users were logged in. (E.g. Windows updates @ 3am auto restarting the machine)
I was able to have it run as a serivice and activate poclbm, but it kicked in instantly (didnt want the 10 mins) and it was using the CPU as the openCL Device instead of the ATI card. It also did not seem responsive to mouse movements, it kept running instead of killing the process.
My dream would be a hidden, run as a service, remote reporting & managable bitcoin client that also had extra goodies built in like automatic memory clock frequency changing, thermal limits, fan speed controls, time of day settings, etc.
