Power mode option for good battery life

Open fivemoreminix opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Feature

I work on a pretty beefy MSI Workstation laptop, but I don't want the animations from Elementary, for example, when I want all the battery life I can get. This is a feature that has existed on Windows OS since (around) Windows 7. They also have other power options like "High performance" that disables lots of internal OS features to improve performance but I'm not sure that's necessary with Elementary because it is mostly slim.

This feature would be best implemented as a on/off button on the panel for the case of batteries. It should disable animations in the operating system and any other very minute details that could otherwise be prevented to save on battery.

Alternatives considered

I have turned my screen brightness down to the very limit I'm comfortable with and my keyboard brightness is completely off. Works great, but more could be done.
