Is there a way to show only Caps in the 'Keyboard LED applet'

Hi,
I am using Mint 21.1 with Mate 1.26.
I can turn on the Keyboard LED applet through Mate Tweak, but it shows 3 icons. I would like to show only one icon, Caps. Would it be possible somehow?
Thanks

Welcome @Miguel_Alonso to the community!

Hi, don't think so as I believe it was programmed to simulate the no longer furnished lites on the keyboards themself. My Dell laptop doesn't have the three indicators on the keyboard but has a light in the Caps lock key.

See here for post from @tkn :

Found a little program that does the trick, indicator-keyboard-led

Added the ppa and installed version 1.2. Had to manually install gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1
You can even edit the .svg icons the program uses in order to make them fit better to your them
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/indicator-keyboard-led_SEVERAL_FILES.svg
Working great.
