Created attachment 188617 [details] Widget screenshot SUMMARY When an application inhibits screen locking / sleep (for example Firefox while playing a video), the Power & Battery widget shows a section "Sleep and Screen Lock after inactivity: Blocked" with a button labeled "Unblock" (in the attached screenshot: "Erlauben") and a red X icon. Additionally, there is a button to manually block sleep and screen locking, with an icon that conveys some sort of "ignore" action (that's my first association, at least). The wording and icons are misleading: 1. The red X icon on the "Unblock" button suggests a destructive action, although this is a normal, non-destructive user choice. The actual action is "positive", not destructive: Ignore the application’s inhibition and resume normal power management behavior. So I think some kind of "resume" icon (or maybe an open "zZz" padlock, similar to the closed one on the screenshot) would be a better fit IMO. The button label should also be changed to "Resume" or something in that vein. 2. For the "Manually block" button, I'd suggest the closed padlock as an icon. This conveys its action better than the current one, I think.
