Interface preview

ThinkControl interface overview

What's changed

  • Saved Modes can prepare the required Windows Balanced plan and restore the previous plan when leaving the mode.
  • Cooling curves pause in firmware Auto during temporary sensor gaps and resume after stable recovery. Hot-system curve selections are retained while firmware cools the system; real write/ownership failures still return to Auto.
  • Cooling failures give more specific guidance and service diagnostics record the actual handoff reason.
  • Recorded sessions moves below Battery details, with readable time, battery and energy summaries. Battery details correctly labels learned charging power.
  • A shared native redesign with IBM Plex Sans, Fluent icons, light/dark themes and a cleaner Compact layout.
  • Custom fan curves and manual percentages on the calibrated ThinkPad X9 21Q6 / BIOS N4CET45W controller. Five measured running states span approximately 3500–9400 RPM. Auto recovery and a custom curve were physically tested through the production service.
  • Separate Modes and Automation, consistent navigation resets and scoped restoration of Lenovo keyboard notifications.
  • Battery cycle history, improved chart inspection, an estimated 0→limit versus 0→100 charging-wear comparison, and moving charge/discharge indicators that respect reduced motion.
  • Compact status and quick-control layout customization with preserved settings.

Alpha limitations

Fan percentages select discrete calibrated states, not continuous PWM; 0% retains the lowest accepted running state. Lower states may mildly pulse. Unknown firmware stays capability-gated. Shared RPM does not represent two independent fan sensors. The charging-wear percentage is a generic illustrative model, not measured battery damage, firmware cycles saved or a lifespan prediction. Broad reboot/wake/AC/DC coverage, manual chart/drag acceptance and installed redesign acceptance remain UNVERIFIED; see RELEASE_READINESS.md and issue #113. This prerelease is not a bug-free certification.
