Simple and unversal Linux X11 screen locker, modified for better integration into scripts

BLock

A simple, customizable, lockscreen that I made because I was bored.

Currently only true PNG images are supported. If you want to use something other than PNGs, install imagemagick and use the convert command in a wrapper shell script.

Features so far:

• All colours everywhere are customizable
• 4 different background scaling modes
• Built-in support for mulit-monitor setups (using RandR)
• Intergrates seemlessly using PAM
• Has a smol clock that can have any custom format used (or positioned, etc.)

Requirements

• pkg-config
• libxcb
• libpam-dev
• libcairo-dev
• libxcb-randr
• libev
• libxkbcommon >= 0.5.0
• libxkbcommon-x11 >= 0.5.0

Running

To start BLock, just run block <image>. For full usage, check block -?.
