i3lock-img - improved screen locker fork with increased custom image capabilities =============================== i3lock is a simple screen locker like slock. After starting it, you will see a white screen (you can configure the color/an image). You can return to your screen by entering your password. i3lock-img - adds the ability to specify -k to display certain images based on number of characters entered - adds the ability to specify -a to display certain images at various authorization states instead of the old ugly circle example : i3lock-img -a ./auth -k ./keypress -K 50 - will display ./auth/0.png on idle, ./auth/1.png of verify, ./auth/3.png on wrong password - will display ./keypress/$x.png based on how man characters, $x of the password have been entered up until ./auth/49.png Many little improvements have been made to i3lock over time: - i3lock forks, so you can combine it with an alias to suspend to RAM (run "i3lock && echo mem > /sys/power/state" to get a locked screen after waking up your computer from suspend to RAM) - You can specify either a background color or a PNG image which will be displayed while your screen is locked. - You can specify whether i3lock should bell upon a wrong password. - i3lock uses PAM and therefore is compatible with LDAP etc. On OpenBSD i3lock uses the bsd_auth(3) framework. Requirements ------------ - pkg-config - libxcb - libxcb-util - libpam-dev - libcairo-dev - libxcb-xinerama - libev - libx11-dev - libx11-xcb-dev - libxkbcommon >= 0.5.0 - libxkbcommon-x11 >= 0.5.0 Running i3lock ------------- Simply invoke the 'i3lock' command. To get out of it, enter your password and press enter. On OpenBSD the `i3lock` binary needs to be setgid `auth` to call the authentication helpers, e.g. `/usr/libexec/auth/login_passwd`.
