Power Management

[Madcliff]

Might it be possible to get a power management widget to simplify changing the current power governor?

Would be nice to have an easy UI option for putting my laptop into battery saver mode.

I'll probably add that feature later

Thanks it would be very useful.

So, I noticed that PPD has an AGS plugin, so I wrote the following and inserted it into bar.ts

const powerProfiles = await Service.import('powerprofiles')
function PowerProfileButton() {
    return Widget.Button({
        class_name: "clock",
        child: Widget.Box({
            orientation: Gtk.Orientation.VERTICAL,
            children: [
                Widget.Label({
                    class_name: "active_profile",
                    label: powerProfiles.bind('active_profile'),
                })
            ]
        }),
        on_clicked: () => {
            switch (powerProfiles.active_profile) {
                case 'balanced':
                    powerProfiles.active_profile = 'performance';
                    break;
                case 'performance':
                    powerProfiles.active_profile = 'power-saver';
                break;                    
                default:
                    powerProfiles.active_profile = 'balanced';
                    break;
            };
        },
    });
}
