I would like to ask you if there is a way to remove some buttons. I want to remove "turn display off" and "hibernate". It would be useful a "settings" button for that. Well, I came to your site because I'm not able to use my old desktop icon I made for suspend: a simple widget icon with this command on press : # qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/powerdevil suspend 2 Since I upgraded to KDE 4.6 that don't work anymore (this is the error message: Cannot find '.suspend' in object /modules/powerdevil at org.kde.kded. Your applet works for me in 4.6. Please, can you tell me what command I must use to suspend as user? I very like a very very clean desktop and a simple transparent icon with just a dot as "title" is what I used before and what I want to use.. Thank you very much for patience! Hope this wasn't a to long post :) Daniel Thank you very much for this useful widget!

It’s a work in progress for now

(especially after the turd-sandwich of an email some frustrated user sent me this morning. :-( ) A small request: Perhaps you could make a small tutorial on techbase explaining the code you use to talk to DBus. That would be handy and I think quite a few people would be interested in it. thanks.

They're flipped now, you're right it makes more sense. No particular reason at all, just the way it was coded. They’re flipped now, you’re right it makes more sense.

I would've expected it to be at the top, since it has the smallest effect, with hibernate (the "biggest" change) at the bottom. nice :)

KDE technologies can be quite easy to work with. @Michael I think that's a byproduct of my theme. I didn't touch anything with icon alignment (And I don't think Plasma::PushButton has that capability anyways) hmm... it actually seems to go away if I resize the applet a bit. I wonder if some layout thing is getting in the way. Wouldn't be the first time. @sebas

Looks pretty much exactly how I want it, and as a bonus, it has DPMS support :-) Now I've got an excuse to compile the python plasma bindings, I guess Yay!
