Description:

This is a simple widget that shows the status of your video graphics card using the "prime-select" command and lets you switch between your Nvidia card and your intel video card. Also, it give you the option to see what version of Nvidia drivers you have and a quick short-cut to open nvidia-settings.
For this widget work like a charm, you need to have installed "zenity" and "libnotify-tools" (This is required if you want to be able to switch video cards) and you need to have the Nvidia drivers installed and the switch "prime-select nvidia" and "prime-select intel" working properly.
You can customize the names and models of the video cards in settings.
This widget works on dark and light themes.
