Power Tray Description
Changing your laptop’s power plan normally involves accessing the Power Options panel, which isn’t ideal if you have to perform this action multiple times throughout the day.
Power Tray is a fairly simple application that can save you a bit of time and effort – it allows you to access your power plans from the system tray and select the one you want with just a couple of mouse clicks.
Manage your laptop’s power plan with minimal effort
If you need to keep a close eye on your laptop’s battery, there is a good chance that you switch between multiple power plans quite frequently. Naturally, accessing these options from the Control Panel is not particularly convenient.
With Power Tray, things are a lot easier. You only need to right-click the application’s system tray icon, and all available power options will be displayed in a simple menu; select the one you want, and then get back to whatever else you were doing.
Unobtrusive and very easy to install
The setup process is as simple as can be, and you can also configure the application to be launched automatically at system startup. It creates an entry in the Startup folder instead of using the Registry, so even removing the app is very straightforward.
Once installed, Power Tray runs in the background without getting in your way. Its resource usage is negligible, an important factor for laptop users.
It is important to note that, if you use the 1.1 (stable) version of the application, you will have to restart it after creating a new power plan; this is not necessary when using the 1.2 version of the program.
Nifty little app that helps laptop users change their power plan more easily
In short, Power Tray is a great tool to have at hand if you change your laptop’s power plan on a regular basis. It provides quick access to your plans from the system tray, and it can be configured in just a few seconds.
