É um ótimo desklet, seria legal a opção de escolher quais botões colocar (reduzir brilho de tela, wifi, etc) e personalização de cor, opacidade, gausian blur...

Com certeza, essa é uma ótima sugestão. Vou adicioná-la à v1.3. Aliás, acabei de lançar a v1.2, que tem opções para personalizar o tamanho e as cores do widget. Experimente e me conte!

It would be great if you could add the function to change colors.

Hi! I've updated the desklet to now allow changing colors for the button! Give it a try after updating to the latest version.

That's a nice suggestion. I've taken a note to add this, if possible, in the next version! Thanks!

How does one actually move this? It's a useful desklet, but I'd like to have it somewhere other than in the upper left hand corner of the screen, and it can't be dragged anywhere.

You can drag it by holding your mouse left button on the empty space between the buttons...

Good idea, I would find it even better if I could deactivate the "Would you like to shut down the system now?" Dialog, so that the system shuts down immediately without further request.

I think that can be configured in the power settings
