 First, create the directory '~/.local/share/pixmaps/' and download a [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/_media/dcore:exittc_green.png|green]] and [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/_media/dcore:exittc_red.png|red]] variant of the original blue icon file for the exit button into it. First, create the directory '~/.local/share/pixmaps/' and download a [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/_media/dcore:exittc_green.png|green]] and [[http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/_media/dcore:exittc_red.png|red]] variant of the original blue icon file for the exit button into it.

 LXPanel should automatically recognize the changes and show the new menu entries. If not so, then ''lxpanelctl restart'' will force the panel to re-read its configuration files. LXPanel should automatically recognize the changes and show the new menu entries.

 +==== LXPanel button for quick shutdown with automatic backup ====
 +
 +In the same light, one may want to creat a blue exit button in the panel that performs a backup of 'mydata.tgz' and shuts the machine down.
 +
 +First, create an //executable// file '~/.local/bin/backup-exittc.sh' with the following content:
 +<code>
 +#!/bin/sh
 +filetool.sh -b 
 +exitcheck.sh shutdown
 +</code>
 +
 +Then create a menu entry via '~/.local/share/applications/backup-exittc.desktop', again adapting the path to the home folder if applicable.
 +<code>
 +[Desktop Entry]
 +Name=Exit w/ Backup
 +Exec=/home/tc/.local/bin/backup-exittc.sh
 +Icon=/usr/local/share/pixmaps/exittc.png
 +Type=Application
 +Categories=System;
 +</code>
 +
 +Finally, add the menu entry to the application launcher in LXPanel.
