# powerprofilesctl-tray

Tray icon indicator for `powerprofilesctl` command (from [power-profiles-daemon](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon) project) for laptop, with support of modern Ayatana Indicators.

This indicator is compatible with Debian 12 (*bookworm*), it combines well with [debian-mate-ayatana-settings](https://github.com/N0rbert/debian-mate-ayatana-settings). For standalone use one should install three packages - `power-profiles-daemon`, `gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1` and `adwaita-icon-theme`:

```

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install power-profiles-daemon gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1 adwaita-icon-theme

```

Installation on the Debian 11 (*bullseye*) is possible too, but here user should download and install packages `power-profiles-daemon` and `adwaita-icon-theme` from Debian 12 (*bookworm*) repository manually. 

To install this indicator for the current user use the commands below:

```

cd ~/Downloads

git clone https://github.com/N0rbert/powerprofilesctl-tray

cd powerprofilesctl-tray

mkdir ~/bin

cp -v powerprofilesctl-tray.py ~/bin/

chmod +x ~/bin/powerprofilesctl-tray.py

mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart/

cat < ~/.config/autostart/powerprofilesctl-tray.py.desktop
