How do I add "Reboot" to the menu? [SOLVED]

Post#1 by Phineas Baritone » 09 Mar 2016, 15:42

Hello all,

I am very surprised it isn't one in either place. Nevertheless, could someone point me in the right direction, if even possible?

Thanks

rightclick the "shutdown" button (panel) > properties
you can choose between seperate buttons or a menu "guest"
a leftclick on "guest" will show the shutdown / reboot / logout options.

Right on!

Donald: That was exactly what I was looking for. Next time, I'll try looking at the properties of everything!

Bogomips: I have nothing in my bottom right hand corner. The taskbar is on the top. Currently looking to move it to the bottom...

Thank you!

^ Top L.H. corner grey disk, clicking it gets the menu, which then has the bottom R.H. corner disk. :wink:
