I put a this as a panel item.

#!/bin/bash
#  
# 					
# Suspend computer(sleep mode) 
# The suspension command, will enable the current system state (complete context) to be saved on the RAM. 
# The RAM, will be powered off unlike most of the devices in the computer.Once the machine is turned on,  
# the state saved on the RAM will be restored automatically. This operation is much faster than
# restoring the state from hibernation since the system state was not saved on the hard disk.
# A suspended system is prone to power outages however since the system state is on the RAM.
#-----------------------------------

systemctl suspend

When I choose an icon, it shows up then disappears.

It occurs with either .png and .jpg icons. And they are the right size.

You might want to look at an earlier posting by Thom (@tkn), where he shows how to create a ${scriptName}.desktop file, which you can then drag-and-drop onto you panel.

The ${scriptName}.desktop file has a line specifying the fullpath to the preferred icon to be used.

The example he provides worked extremely well for me! :slight_smile:

Thanks Eric. This is extra stuff to fulfill the minimum post size.
