Dependencies

Install

Download and extract zip to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/, and restart gnome shell.

or

Using a browser that supports extension installation, visit https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1212/tlp-switcher/

How To

Place TLP configuration files in ~/.tlp/.

Create a new profile:

tlp-stat -c > ~/.tlp/MyProfile

or

cp /etc/default/tlp ~/.tlp/MyProfile

Selecting a profile will prompt you for root access to run tlp_update.sh. This script copys your profile to /etc/default/tlp and runs tlp start.

Changes to ~/.tlp/ (adding/removing profiles) are reflected (not applied) automatically.

Gnome Version

This extension is built and tested under gnome 3.24.1. It may work on previous versions of gnome but the metadata.json file only lists 3.24+. You can simply edit it and add your gnome version (if it works fine, leave me a comment so I can update the metadata.json).
