Support switching power profile from battery status icon popup menu #463

Closed spotlesscoder closed 1 year ago

spotlesscoder commented 1 year ago

Problem

When travelling with train, I often need to switch power profiles as some follow-up trains might not have AC power available or it is not working. In that case, I want to save as much power as I can with as little effort as possible.

I don't want to go through all the menus in the system settings to reach the power profile setting (I think I saw that such power profiles are about to be introduced with elementary 7.0, did I get that right)

Proposal

Provide all available power profiles as clickable items in the battery icon popup (when I click the battery in the top bar with left mouse button single click).

Optional: display a nice "flat" themed icon next to the battery to indicate which power profile is currently active, e.g. a leaf for maximum power save mode

Prior Art (Optional)
