Use safer integrated switching #2

Open steveschow opened 8 years ago

Use a potentially safer approach for switching to integrated, whereby gfxCardStatus will switch to dynamic switching rather then switching directly to integrated mode. This will allow OSX to switch the system to integrated mode when it sees fit. Once we detect the system has switched back to integrated mode, then turn the dynamic switching flag back off again.

Potentially provide a preference to choose this safer mode or not.

I’m using 2.4.1i for some days now on my MBP 15’’ from 2010 and so far I’m really happy with the switching behavior! 👍 Before that I was using the original gfxCardStatus and after closing Spotify, when in integrated-only-mode, the Nvidia card was toggled on…

The only thing I changed are the icons ;) I like the ones that were used in gfx some versions earlier: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/oea2mbd0z7rchzb/AACkAT3vBcKjxcTK4IniseQKa?dl=0

Thanks for your fork and work!
