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. .SH IMPROVEMENTS .IP \[bu] 2 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) .IP \[bu] You can specify either a background color or a PNG image which will be displayed while your screen is locked. .IP \[bu] You can specify whether i3lock should bell upon a wrong password. .IP \[bu] i3lock uses PAM and therefore is compatible with LDAP, etc. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-v, \-\-version Display the version of your .B i3lock .TP .B \-n, \-\-nofork Don't fork after starting. .TP .B \-b, \-\-beep Enable beeping. Be sure to not do this when you are about to annoy other people, like when opening your laptop in a boring lecture. .TP .B \-u, \-\-no-unlock-indicator Disable the unlock indicator. i3lock will by default show an unlock indicator after pressing keys. This will give feedback for every keypress and it will show you the current PAM state (whether your password is currently being verified or whether it is wrong). .TP .BI \-i\ path \fR,\ \fB\-\-image= path Display the given PNG image instead of a blank screen. .TP .BI \-c\ rrggbb \fR,\ \fB\-\-color= rrggbb Turn the screen into the given color instead of white. Color must be given in 3-byte format: rrggbb (i.e. ff0000 is red). .TP .B \-t, \-\-tiling If an image is specified (via \-i) it will display the image tiled all over the screen (if it is a multi-monitor setup, the image is visible on all screens). .TP .BI \-p\ win|default \fR,\ \fB\-\-pointer= win|default If you specify "default", .B i3lock does not hide your mouse pointer. If you specify "win", .B i3lock displays a hardcoded Windows-Pointer (thus enabling you to mess with your friends by using a screenshot of a Windows desktop as a locking-screen). .TP .B \-e, \-\-ignore-empty-password When an empty password is provided by the user, do not validate it. Without this option, the empty password will be provided to PAM and, if invalid, the user will have to wait a few seconds before another try. This can be useful if the XF86ScreenSaver key is used to put a laptop to sleep and bounce on resume or if you happen to wake up your computer with the enter key. .TP .B \-f, \-\-show-failed-attempts Show the number of failed attempts, if any. .TP .B \-\-debug Enables debug logging. Note, that this will log the password used for authentication to stdout. .SH i3lock-color options .TP .B \-S=number, \-\-screen=number Specifies which display to draw the unlock indicator and clock on. By default, they'll be placed on every screen. Note that this number is zero indexed. The ordering is dependent on libxinerama. .TP .B \-B=sigma, \-\-blur=sigma Captures the screen and blurs it using the given sigma (radius). Images may still be overlaid over the blurred screenshot. .TP .B \-\-indicator Forces the indicator to always be visible, instead of only showing on activity. .TP .B \-\-insidevercolor=rrggbbaa Sets the interior circle color while the password is being verified. .TP .B \-\-insidewrongcolor=rrggbbaa Sets the interior circle color for during flash for an incorrect password. .TP .B \-\-insidecolor=rrggbbaa Sets the default "resting" color for the interior circle. .TP .B \-\-ringvercolor=rrggbbaa Sets the ring color while the password is being verified. .TP .B \-\-ringwrongcolor=rrggbbaa Sets the ring color during the flash for an incorrect password. .TP .B \-\-ringcolor=rrggbbaa Sets the default ring color. .TP .B \-\-linecolor=rrggbbaa Sets the color for the line separating the inside circle, and the outer ring. .TP .B \-\-line\-uses\-ring Conflicts with \-\-line\-uses\-inside. Overrides \-\-linecolor. The line will match the ring color. .TP .B \-\-line\-uses\-inside Conflicts with \-\-line\-uses\-ring. Overrides \-\-linecolor; the line will match the inside color. .TP .B \-\-keyhlcolor=rrggbbaa Sets the color of the ring 'highlight' strokes that appear upon keypress. .TP .B \-\-bshlcolor=rrggbbaa Sets the color of the ring 'highlight' strokes that appear upon backspace. .TP .B \-\-separatorcolor=rrggbbaa Sets the color of the 'separtor', which is at both ends of the ring highlights. .TP .B \-\-textcolor=rrggbbaa Sets the color of the status text ("verifying...", "wrong!", etc). .TP .B \-\-timecolor=rrggbbaa Sets the color of the time in the clock. .TP .B \-\-timestr="%H:%M:%S" Sets the format used for generating the time string. See strftime(3) for a full list of format specifiers. .TP .B \-\-timefont=sans-serif Sets the font used to render the time string. .TP .B \-\-timesize=32 Sets the font size for rendering the time string. .TP .B \-\-timepos="x position:y position" Sets the position for the time string. Valid variables include: .RS .RS x - x position of the current display. Corresponds to the leftmost row of pixels on that display. y - y position of the current display. Corresponds to the topmost row of pixels on that display. w - width of the current display. h - height of the current display. ix - the x value of the indicator on the current display. iy - the y value of the indicator on the current display. cw - the clock width. ch - the clock height. .RE .RE .TP .B \-\-datecolor=rrggbbaa Sets the color of the date in the clock. .TP .B \-\-datestr="%A, %m %Y Sets the format used for generating the date string. See strftime(3) for a full list of format specifiers. .TP .B \-\-datefont=sans-serif Sets the font used to render the date string. .TP .B \-\-datesize=14 Sets the font size for rendering the date string. .TP .B \-\-datepos="x position:y position" Sets the position for the date string. All the variables from \-\-timepos may be used, in addition to: .RS .RS tx - the computed x value of the timestring, for the current display. ty - the computed y value of the timestring, for the current display. .RE .RE .TP .B \-\-refresh\-rate=seconds The refresh rate of the indicator, given in seconds. This should automatically align itself, but is somewhat buggy currently. .SH DPMS The \-d (\-\-dpms) option was removed from i3lock in version 2.8. There were plenty of use-cases that were not properly addressed, and plenty of bugs surrounding that feature. While features are not normally removed from i3 and its tools, we felt the need to make an exception in this case. Users who wish to explicitly enable DPMS only when their screen is locked can use a wrapper script around i3lock like the following: .Vb 6 \& #!/bin/sh \& revert() { \& xset dpms 0 0 0 \& } \& trap revert HUP INT TERM \& xset +dpms dpms 5 5 5 \& i3lock -n \& revert .Ve The \-I (-\-inactivity-timeout=seconds) was removed because it only makes sense with DPMS. .SH SEE ALSO .IR xautolock(1) \- use i3lock as your screen saver .SH AUTHOR Michael Stapelberg Jan-Erik Rediger
