Additionally, instead of turning of +your screen via DPMS and/or displaying a black screen, i3lock displays a +white screen so you can see if your computer failed to resume from suspend +or if your screen is just locked. Also, when entering a wrong password, +i3lock does not call XBell(). This is important because i3lock/slock think +you’ve entered a password when resuming from suspend, at least sometimes. + +i3lock was forked from slock-0.9 + +Requirements +------------ +In order to build i3lock you need the Xlib header files. + + +Installation +------------ +Edit config.mk to match your local setup (slock is installed into +the /usr/local namespace by default). + +Afterwards enter the following command to build and install slock +(if necessary as root): + + make clean install + + +Running i3lock +------------- +Simply invoke the 'i3lock' command.
