SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install power-profiles-deamon 2. Change the power profile via `powerprofilectl` 3. See that the status icon does not update. OBSERVED RESULT Status icon remains in the previous state. EXPECTED RESULT Status icon updates to match the current power profile state SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kernel 6.8.5-arch1-1 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0

Random additional thought but it'd be nice if along with this there's a pop-up indicating the power profile like with brightness, volume or touch pad changes

When you use powerprofilesctl, you would see that the command completed in the terminal so showing an additional pop-up would seem unnecessarily distracting.

My idea here was if I change it via my laptop keybind.

So you have a shortcut to switch to a power profile using powerprofilesctl set? Fyi, there is a built-in feature to cycle profiles assigned to Meta+B by default.

I'll use the built-in profile switcher, thanks for telling me about that!

Pushed by nclarius into branch 'master'. actions/powerprofile: expose configured profile in DBus interface So the applet can determine whether to show an icon indicating the current profile when it is not the default one.

Pushed by nclarius into branch 'master'. applets/battery: consistently indicate when in non-default power profile - fix current profile indicator out of sync betweeen multiple applet instances - indicate when power profile was manually changed from outside the applet, eg powerprofilesctl - indicate when power profile was manually set to balanced if this is not the default for the current power state - don't indicate profile holds if the profile is the default for the current power state anyway where indicate = show the applet as relevant, and use a special icon for the compact representation.
