Good morning guys,
@fehlix thanks, I excuted your steps but I was wrong about the desktop file name, forgetting to add ".desktop" to the name. Very interesting and useful the step "permanent way to put......."
at this point would you like having the honor to choose the icon button panel?
Have a good and nice Sunday, here, in Sicily, is warm and sunny.
Bye

If you prefer to change the displayed icon of the "button" on the panel :cool:,
within the menu or on the desktop (wherever you have placed it) you can
manually change it by this:
-> Right-click on the icon-button
-> click Properties
-> click the little pencil on the right side below to "Edit ..."
-> click on the displayed Icon to select another one
PS: I’m sure :crossfingers: it’s mentioned somewhere in the mx-user manual,
but haven’t checked this.

Happy sunday! :happy:

Sorry for my english, but I invited you to "choose" and show which you prefer just for fun ;)

This is an excellent utility tutorial, and it has come in especially handy for sometimes working outside in bright light and other times working inside in darker areas. I would add that it should be noted that in later versions of MX Linux the theme names have changed and must be updated in the code accordingly.

Great contribution!

FYI Here's a link to a modified bash magic for toggling the "Blank to" time in the Power Manager Display in Xfce.
Xfce Power Manager (xfce4-power-manager-settings) → Display – Plugged in - - Display power management - - - Blank after

I removed the panel toggle, and used Keyboard → Application Shortcuts – Alt+B

Also, some other methods that would work – maybe avoid the xml files method, according to DO.

Works great!
