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.
- pkg-config
- libxcb
- libxcb-util
- libpam-dev
- libcairo-dev
- libxcb-xinerama
- libev

Simply invoke the 'i3lock' command. To get out of it, enter your password and press enter.
In each state a specific object id will be rendered. Used ids are:
- "idle"
- "verify"
- "fail"
- "backspace"
- "animXX" for frames of the typing animation, where XX is a ascending number starting at "00".
- "fg" and "bg" for foreground and background
If the id "sequential_animation" is present, animation frames will be rendered in ascending order instead of random order.
If the id "remove_background" is present "idle", "verfiy" and "fail" won't be rendered when drawing the animation frames.
