slock - simple screen locker (fork)

A bloated fork of suckless slock with lots of customizations.

This fork merges the following patches:

• slock-alternate-colors: alternate colors on keyboard input
• slock-blur_pixelated_screen: blurs and pixelate the screen
• slock-capscolor: alternate color when caplock is on
• slock-control-clear: ignore control keys when buffer is empty
• slock-dpms: turns off monitor after timeout
• slock-dwmlogoandblurscreen: adds a dwm logo
• slock-failure-command: exec command after X unsucessful attempts
• slock-mediakeys: allows media keys to be used while screen is locked
• slock-message-xft: shows a message, using xft fonts
• slock-pam_auth: uses PAM auth
• slock-quickcancel: cancel slock within small time period

And adds the following other changes:

• lock icon instead of the dwm logo (configurable)
• quick cancel using any keyboard key
• load image to use as a background
• configuration file; loads configuration from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/slock/slock.toml if it exists

Have a look at slock.toml!
