Power Console

This is a simple power-management applet for Linux, written in C++ and FLTK.

It supports changing power profiles, reporting battery status, turning on and off conservation mode for batteries, and indicating whether the AC adapter is plugged in.

Since a lot of more bare-bones desktops and window managers lack power management niceties, I decided to write this little gadget.

The paths to various things are hardcoded for my laptop's specific setup and such.

TODO: I want to add support for dynamic things like

• Choosing the colors and their thresholds
• Specifying what your system's special configuration files are
• Slider to control brightness
• Some power profiles support (within the applet as well as integration with what is in the linux system binary powerprofilesctl)

This code is licened under the AGPL vesrion 3.0, only.
