Cool, first the round corners and now the attractive exit script. FB looks more and more "modern".
Great what you can learn here by the way, maybe I'll write an entry aid for people like me, so absolutely beginners.

mx-fluxbox, what else?

... this 'suspend' sign is used in both Moka- and Papirus iconsets:

but I agree with you that 'system-sleep.png' as icon for the suspend-command would fit better in the exitbar. it looks great on my system:

That looks better. BTW "suspend" and "sleep" are used interchangeably to mean the same thing, suspending the current session to RAM.

Not even looking at the actual commands in the yad script these icons say to me (from the top down) lock session, leave (which I interpret as log off), sleep/suspend, restart and shut down/power off. Much more intuitive.

That icon is a nice change, good suggestion.

BTW: This focus group is being very helpful! Maybe we need a dedicated forum for Devs, big and little, to test stuff.

FI: Congratulations
That works here, and I like the Moka 64x64 set of metal icons with yad.

Code: Select all

system-lock-screen1.png system-log-out.png  system-run.png  system-sleep.png
   system-lock-screen.png   system-restart.png  system-shutdown.png  system-suspend.png
Image

But it is better with a info text, ex:

Code: Select all

--button="<span font='Monospace'></span>!/usr/share/icons/Moka/64x64/actions/system-shutdown.png!Power_Off:sudo poweroff" \
instead:

Code: Select all

--button="<span font='Monospace'></span>!/usr/share/icons/Moka/64x64/actions/system-shutdown.png:sudo poweroff" \

You may have missed the beginning: the goal was to have nothing to translate, including tooltips. I don't see them as adding anything in this particular case, since the icons are pretty clear in their meaning.

... Ah ok, I see then. (can also be only the command used line, ex: "sudo poweroff" ...)
