Power Plans and BatteryMon

SovereignGFC · #1 02-25-2009, 06:57 PM

I was wondering if there is any plan (or feature that I missed while browsing through my trial) for BatteryMon to support changing the Windows Power Plan? BatteryMon would make a great replacement for the system battery icon if I could also change the power plan with it.

There are no plans at the moment. But it might be something we look at in the future.

OK then. A souped-up replacement for the battery meter would definitely make a sale with me... I hope to see it implemented in the future.

Hello again.

I found an article
http://www.watchingthenet.com/create-keyboard-shortcut-to-change-power-plans-schemes-on-the-fly.html
which details how to use Windows shortcuts to change power plans in Windows XP, Vista and 7 (I know because I tested it on Windows 7). I created shortcuts using a Vista desktop gadget, but you might create a "Power Plan Shortcut Folder" or something if you were to implement this feature of enabling BatteryMon to change power plans.
