Add 1 min screen turn off on idle, not just 5 min minimum

[ghost]

Hi.
5 min is pretty huge amount of time. Usually, battery powered devices begin from 1 min to save battery...
Current minimum (5 min) before screen turn off - consumes energy and will drain battery significantly faster plus this will eventually (for sure!) kill OLED display, because it doesn't like static pictures...

I assume you are running Cinnamon (else your proposal is out of scope of Mint devs).

In /usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/modules/cs_power.py there is a section

SLEEP_DELAY_OPTIONS = [
    (300, _("5 minutes")),
    (600, _("10 minutes")),
    (900, _("15 minutes")),
    (1800, _("30 minutes")),
    (2700, _("45 minutes")),
    (3600, _("1 hour")),
    (7200, _("2 hours")),
    (10800, _("3 hours")),
    (0, _("Never"))
]

In there, you can squeeze in the 1 minute choice you want, as in

SLEEP_DELAY_OPTIONS = [
    (60, _("1 minute")),
    (300, _("5 minutes")),
    (600, _("10 minutes")),
    (900, _("15 minutes")),
    (1800, _("30 minutes")),
    (2700, _("45 minutes")),
    (3600, _("1 hour")),
    (7200, _("2 hours")),
    (10800, _("3 hours")),
    (0, _("Never"))
]

Edit: But for protecting the screen from OLED burn, one is supposed to utilize screensaver. Screensaver in Cinnamon allows 1 minute start as an option.

That seems to work. Thanks!
