[SOLVED] Want Shutdown Icon on Desktop

[ukbrian]

On Debian stable I have a .desktop launcher

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Name=Shut Down
Comment=Shut off this machine
Categories=System;
Exec=sudo halt
Icon=/home/ducky/icons/96/shutdown.png
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true

I've also added a file to /etc/sudoers.d, (thank you AustenTexas)

Code:

user     ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/gparted
user     ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/synaptic
user   ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/thunar
user ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

I could click on the 26x26 pixel icons at the bottom of my panel below the whisker icon but I find it a tad easier to click on a 96x96 pixel icon on my ducky screenform.



Unfortunately the shutdown button don't work correctly with the Ubuntu 14.04 based distros because of systemd but I would think it just needs a change to

Code:

Exec=sudo halt

My database guru friend who wrote my office app in the 90's  is bored with his work maintaining 20 YO legacy windows code for local authorities and has expressed an interest in doing a html5 desktop based on debian like deepin have done for Ubuntu but the database should also be able to churn out a new desktop for windows, so something I've been thinking around since the late 90's looks like taking shape, not bad progress for a none coder.

My reboot and halt buttons still don't look the same to me the halt has a more "glassy" look to my old eyes.
