Use the XComposite extension to get the composite overlay window, instead of just using the normal root window. This ensures that composited windows are covered. |

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.
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.
