i3lock - slightly improved screen locker based on slock
|
|
|
|
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
i3lock improves slock by making it fork() and therefore combinable with
|

|
|
|
|
commands to suspend your computer. Additionally, instead of turning off
|

|
|
|
|
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
