# CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES

Compact display (default config):

```
"power-profiles-daemon": {
  "format": "{icon}",
  "tooltip-format": "Power profile: {profile}\nCPU driver: {cpu_driver}\nPlatform driver: {platform_driver}",
  "tooltip": true,
  "format-icons": {
    "default": "",
    "performance": "",
    "balanced": "",
    "power-saver": ""
  }
}
```

Display the full profile name:

```
"power-profiles-daemon": {
  "format": "{icon}   {profile}",
  "tooltip-format": "Power profile: {profile}\nCPU driver: {cpu_driver}\nPlatform driver: {platform_driver}",
  "tooltip": true,
  "format-icons": {
    "default": "",
    "performance": "",
    "balanced": "",
    "power-saver": ""
  }
}
```

# STYLE

- *#power-profiles-daemon*
- *#power-profiles-daemon.performance* Applied when the *performance* profile is active.
- *#power-profiles-daemon.balanced* Applied when the *balanced* profile is active.
- *#power-profiles-daemon.power-saver* Applied when the *power-saver* profile is active.

*Note*: the module applies a CSS class equal to the name of the active profile, so any additional profile exposed by power-profiles-daemon can be styled by its name.
