Depending on your system, there might be specific DE commands to lock your screen and log out from the session. You may have to change the commands inside the case statement of the script powermenu.sh for it to work on your system.

case $selected in
    "${poweroff}")
        systemctl poweroff
        ;;
    "${reboot}")
        systemctl reboot
        ;;
    "${sleep}")
        systemctl suspend
        ;;
    "${logout}")
        # DE specific
        ;;
    "${lock}")
        # DE specific
        ;;

This powermenu uses open source fonts Webly SleekUI and Feather.

I compiled Feather using my modified fork of rfbezerra's svg-to-ttf utility (which uses Fontcustom) to set the start of the character map.
