Hi @mortenfyhn, that's an interesting idea with some interesting technical problems.
I'm not actually sure how to reliably map a color to a specific power plan. This is because users can create their own power plans, they can rename existing power plans, and I'm not sure if the three power plans you list (Power Saving, Balanced, High Performance) are actually universal.
Unless these powerplans share the same GUID across all systems, I think it would be pretty hard to guarantee this works for everyone.
I'll look into it.
That's a good point. What about instead of having a fixed colourmap (or even a default map), you could let users create their own map by manually selecting a colour for each plan in the dropdown list? Do you reckon that would be better/more feasible?
That's a pretty good idea.
I'll have to look into how to generate the required tray icon, but that should be too hard.

Hi, I love this little program, and have a feature request.
What about having the icon change colors based on the current power scheme? Something like green for power saving, yellow for balanced, red for performance. Especially useful for those who find that Windows changes the power mode unpredictably.
