Shutdown Button in Top Panel - Feedback and Suggestions Threads on LXLE forums

faiz

I was wondering if you consider adding a shutdown/logout button in the top panel for quick access. Presently its a 3 click business. The panel button will be very handy.

lxle

Which desktop paradigm are you using?

Currently G2, and the Unity paradigm have a shutdown icon in the top panel.

faiz

using the default LXLE with almost no tweaks.

I believe the shutdown icon is located in /usr/share/applications

you will have to add something like the following to the file so it shows up in your menu

Categories=GTK;System;Settings;

you then can either add it next to the trash or replace it by adding it to the application launch bar settings (right click on trash)

I added and set nodisplay=false and still I cant find it under systems. strange at it may sound!

lxle

why did you add no display false? also check under preferences

faiz

I think nodisplay is for setting the visibility of the option in the menu??
ANyway, I have checked under preferences and and checked under both categories after setting nodisplay=true.
No luck yet, will keep you updated here

Create a file that works.

Use the line Exec=/usr/bin/lxsession-logout.

Call the file Shutdown-lubuntu.desktop with these lines:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=ShutdownLubuntu
Comment=Shutdown
Icon=system-shutdown-panel
Exec=/usr/bin/lxsession-logout
Categories=GTK;System;Settings;
Type=Application

and put it in usr/share/applications. This makes it appear in main menu under System Tools and could be added in lxpanel in an application launch bar.

I’m hoping in future releases of lxle the shut down in the task bar will be standard.

I use G2 paradgim, and it is there by default, at the top right corner.

That should take care of it.
