Deactivate inactive window blur effect on battery

from Stardock Forums

Hello Stardock Team,

I recently bought windowFx because I was really pleased by the huge amount of features this software packs and I got down into tinkering with it. I really like the possibility to blur inactive windows, as it helps me to focus and just looks nice. Coupled with the freeware "X-Mouse Controls" the blur follows my mouse which gives my OS a really nice looking effect. Sadly it drains my laptop battery quite significantly faster!

I don't want to completely disable it, and don't always care about the extra power usage (for example when I am plugged into the wall) but it would be really neat to have a possibility to deactivate the blur effect on battery or even better on a certain battery percentage.

Is this something that could be feasible? I would even be open to pay extra for this feature :)

If its not a possibility my alternative would be to write a command line script and deactivate windowFX always when I am on battery, but this would be a bit overkill IMO and also deactivates the faster animations I set. 

I really hope I can get some help here and have a great day everyone :)
