🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the waybar-powe...iles-daemon(5) page from the File Formats Manual — it's the whole vibe guide for the waybar power-profiles-daemon module. 💖

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically this module displays the active power-profiles-daemon profile — like, whatever profile is running right now, it shows it. and then, when you click it, it cycles through the available profiles. that's it. that's the whole thing. iconic behavior fr fr. 💅

---

🎀 FILES 🎀

• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/waybar/config — yeah this is where your config lives, that's the one, no cap. 🗂️

---

💜 CONFIGURATION 💜

here are all the little knobs you can turn, one bullet each, nothing skipped, promise. 🫶

• format — type: string, default: "{icon}". this is the message that shows up on the bar. {icon} and {profile} get swapped out for, respectively, the icon representing the active profile and its full name. so cute. ✨
• tooltip-format — type: string, default: "Power profile: {profile}\nDriver: {driver}". the message shown in the module tooltip. {icon} and {profile} are substituted, respectively, with the icon representing the active profile and its full name. same deal as format, just hover-flavored. 🦋
• tooltip — type: bool, default: true. display the tooltip. yes or no, that's the question. 💀
• format-icons — type: object, default: see the default value in the example below. these are the icons used to represent the various power-profile. note: the default configuration uses the font-awesome icons, so you may want to override it if you don't have this font installed on your system. lowkey important, don't skip this one. 😭
• expand: — type: bool, default: false. enables this module to consume all left over space dynamically. it's giving main character energy, taking up all the room. 👑

🌈 CONFIGURATION EXAMPLES 🌈

Compact display (default config):

"power-profiles-daemon": {
  "format": "{icon}",
  "tooltip-format": "Power profile: {profile}nDriver: {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}nDriver: {driver}",
  "tooltip": true,
  "format-icons": {
    "default": "",
    "performance": "",
    "balanced": "",
    "power-saver": ""
  }
}

---

okay bestie real talk — those "default", "performance", "balanced" and "power-saver" entries are literally the font-awesome glyphs sitting in there, they're just not rendering in your terminal font rn. copy them exactly as your config has them, don't retype them from vibes. 🙈
