PBLogout, a logout dialog for Linux.
Posted: Thu Jul 18, 2024 1:28 pm
If anyone is interested I made a logout dialog box for Linux. 
It's loosely based on Mabox Linux's logout dialog(which uses clever scripting and jgmenu).
It requires Nitrogen as a wallpaper manager to generate the mini version of your desktop wallpaper in the dialog box, else it uses a
random wallpaper from the images folder. The wallpapers are all free from wallpaperflare.com.
The buttons' functions are set to open a terminal, colour picker and calculator on my OS. I did that for testing purposes because, obviously, I didn't want the computer to logout, restart or shutdown while I was coding. You will need to edit the exit script to your requirements, depending on which OS you use.
Pressing the ESC key or clicking anywhere outside the dialog box should quit it. (Thanks to Axolotl for the solution).
It's not perfect in as much as wallpapers with a resolution other than 1920x1080 might not look quite right. I'm sure there are plenty of other things wrong with it too(like no error checking!) but it works well enough for me on my system. Feel free to modify and improve it.
