changes the power plan when the game is started

[[games]]
exe = 'Game.exe'

# Powerplan relies on high performance
[[games.OnProcessStart]]
Name = 'powercfg.exe'
Args = '/setactive 8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c'
HideWindow = true
OnForeground = true # is also taken over when the window gets the focus

# Powerplan relies on Balanced
[[games.OnProcessFinish]]
Name = 'powercfg.exe'
Args = '/setactive 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e'
HideWindow = true
OnBackground = true # is also adopted if the window loses focus

OnForeground = true

# prevents dwm from being started again
[[games.OnProcessStart]]
