Whilst searching for a "lock-screen" possibility I stumbled upon "slock" (in suckless-tools package) and "i3lock" (which is it's own package). Where the latter is IMO opinion an elegant solution. Other than that: One can always have the "screen-lock" button or key-combo activate "dm-tool switch-to …

[image] Thanatermesis: try the i3lock-fancy package, I did. It looks cool but a downside is that it shows partly the desktop you locked, which could be a problem for some scenarios. Simple 13lock does not have the blurring so doesn't pose any problems for graphics, IMO. One con for i3lock i…

light-locker is a bit more big, and aparently runs as a daemon... not good idea (more resources for nothing) i3lock-fancy looks good to me good point about the "visual things", but the other option is too ugly (and we don't want to have an ugly desktop in elive :slight_smile: ), i think that if th…

[image] Thanatermesis: important information on the desktop (in case its on a public place and somebody is going to put the face on the computer lol Methinks in most cases that would be a laptop and should be caught by "suspend" on closing the lid. [image] Thanatermesis: not good idea (m…

[image] triantares: Methinks in most cases that would be a laptop and should be caught by "suspend" on closing the lid. mmh, that's a different thing if e16 can "catch" the close-lid event, could run a script then to "lock + suspend" (but again, in general terms it is up to the user to not s…

[image] Thanatermesis: for now i just added that command itself to the hotkey bindings (just i3lock-fancy) It'll be a minor adjustment to my i3screenlock.py for me. :blush: Seeing i3lock-fancy script uses scrot and imagemagick: I doubt it's very heavy on graphic cards.

@triantares Tks again...Very usefull your script to dim my screen and lock it

[image] triantares: #!/bin/sh revert() { xset dpms 0 0 0 } trap revert HUP INT TERM xset +dpms dpms 5 5 5 i3lock -n revert @triantares how would you modify to script to use xset dpms force off instead ? This command seem faster / more efficient I would like your script to use that comma…

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you want to do. Do you want to lock and turn off the same screen simultaneously? :thinking:

[image] yoda: xset dpms force off yes lock and xset dpms force off

[image] yoda: xset dpms force off OK I got it LOL i3lock && xset dpms force off
