i3lock - improved screen locker
|
|
|
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
|
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 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.
