I3lock

Jul 20, 2023

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 have entered a password when resuming from suspend, at least sometimes.

i3lock was forked from slock-0.9
