Turn off Magsafe LED if limit is reached #13

Open Voyzxh opened 6 months ago

I was wondering if we can choose between having the Magsafe LED in green or turning it off when limit is reached. It's a bit distracting to have it in green while battery is just maintained at 80%. Thank you.

I think it is possible. I can add this control in the next release.

In the mean time, you can try the attached file. It does not have a control. It just turns the LED off instead of turning green.

I'd love to see an option to have the MagSafe LED turn off when charging is paused by batt's disable-charging-pre-sleep setting. Personally, I like seeing the LED turn green to indicate it's hit batt's limit, even if the limit is the 80% charge I've set — but having it turn off if charging is disabled when I close my MacBook lid would be a clearer indication of maybe this application's most misunderstood behavior. But either way — thanks for a really useful utility!

Thank you. Great advice!
