Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

While on a laptop, the battery module works as intended and it gives users the option to set the power profile and brightness, on desktop it shows the battery icon and 0%. The user can disable the battery module. however they will loose the brightness and power profile functionality.

Describe the solution you'd like

When the operating system doesn't detect a battery, the battery icon should be replaced with the power profile icon. For laptop users, also allow them to enable the power profile icon if the wish to in addition to having the battery icons.

On an unrelated note, it would be nice if the user can display time to empty and battery heath in the pop up menu instead of just hover.

Alternative solution.

Ideally, I would want to display the system wattage. But I don't think all motherboards can accurately display it. Basically, It would be nice to have any other power related information displayed on the module that is relevant for a desktop.
