Benno Fünfstück a221279cf9 add options to set margins for fullscreen window
This change adds four new options to set the top, left, right
and bottom margins of the fullscreen window. That is useful if
you want to have additional programs (such as docks) be visible
while the screen is locked.

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.

Requirements

  • pkg-config
  • libxcb
  • libxcb-util
  • libpam-dev
  • libcairo-dev
  • libxcb-xinerama
  • libev
  • libx11-dev
  • libx11-xcb-dev
  • libxkbfile-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.
