Jerry thank you very much for giving me the inspiration. Until now the probes work fine. I found a temporary way to link the probe mode (NO or NC) to the probe image on the pyvcp. If you have a prettier and more stable solution please share it.
Note: I have a debounce group previously added
And for the pyvcp panel:
Note: I have a debounce group previously added
#PROBE MODE
loadrt xor2
addf xor2.0 servo-thread
addf debounce.1 base-thread
setp debounce.1.delay 10000
net probe-fixed parport.0.pin-11-in-not debounce.1.0.in xor2.0.in1
net probe-renishaw debounce.1.0.out xor2.0.in0 pyvcp.probe
net probe-in xor2.0.out pyvcp.probe_led.on
And for the pyvcp panel:
<image name="renishawpic.png" file="/your image directory path/renishawpic.png"/>
<image name="probepic.png" file="/your image directory path/probepic.png"/>
<labelframe text="PROBE">
<hbox>
<led>
<halpin>"probe_led.on"</halpin>
<size>17</size>
<on_color>"green"</on_color>
<off_color>"red"</off_color>
</led>
<image_bit halpin="probe" images="probepic.png renishawpic.png"/>
</hbox>
</labelframe>

Be sure to post a screenshot of your panel for others to see... and/or a video of it in operation.
If you need help creating panel graphics just let me know!

Jerry I promise the video for later, for now I can upload some pictures. Give me just some time to understand how the cnc-club.ru guy's screen for probe works.

Screen probe... do you mean screenshot?
Linux has a screenshot built into the accessories. Just run it and it will take a shot and save it... then you can upload it here.

If you ever want to record a video of the screen... you can install "Record My Desktop"
recordmydesktop.sourceforge.net/about.php

I had some noise problems with the probe because the probe is not isolated, I did not remember that I had the ground cable fixed to the spindle connector body to avoid using the clip. Now all is resolved, unplugging the spindle the probe works nice.
This is the link for the probe ,
It seems a good thing.

When LinuxCNC starts the probe parport pin is NO (IN-NOT) and the fixed probe is ready to go. The led is red but when the bit touches the probe it turns green.
When the Renishaw style probe is plugged the led turns red, the image of the probe changes and the probe parport pin automatically change the state to NC (IN) as well, then when the probe contacts the led turns green.

I had an idea... since you have two types of probes and two possible states... the binary numbers could be combined to give you one of four possible states...
So...
11 = Renishaw Contact (Decimal 3)
10 = Renishaw No Contact (Decimal 2)
01 = Standard with contact (Decimal 1)
00 = Standard no contact (Decimal 0)
Your actual states may differ... but still four possible states... so you could use four possible images instead of two images and two LED states...
I made these at 180x180 which appears to be the right scale for you if you wish to use them. If you like the concept, but not the images... I can chage them too.
Actually... this might be better...
