What specific driver and linux tools do you use to throttle your CPU?
Also throttling often produces the opposite result in terms of extended battery life as it likely takes more time in the higher states to do the same amount of work whereas running at a faster clock speed, the work is completed faster and the CPU returns to a lower less energy using state quicker and resides there more of the time.
I would be interested to hear your results. Have you done any tests comparing a throttled versus throttled system with the tools you are using?
Could you elaborate on this further? Is it just a generic KDE panel? How did you combine the two to get that effect?
Specifically how did you get the min Max close buttons from the active window titlebar to merge into the panel like that?
I known you can set no titlebar and frame for a window but how do you get the window buttons into the panel?
