UtkarshVerma was so kind to provide an installation script for debian based systems, .
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Run `betterlockscreen` and point it to either a directory (`betterlockscreen -u "path/to/dir"`) or an image (`betterlockscreen -u "/path/to/img.jpg"`) and that's all. `betterlockscreen` will change update its cache with image you provided.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
usage: betterlockscreen [-u "path/to/img.jpg"] [-l "dim, blur or dimblur"]
|
||||
[-w "dim, blur, or dimblur"] [-t "custom text"] [-s "lockscreen and suspend"]
|
||||
[-r "resolution"] [-b "factor"]
|
||||
|
||||
betterlockscreen - faster and sweet looking lockscreen for linux systems.
|
||||
|
||||
required:
|
||||
-u, --update "path/to/img.jpg" caches all required images
|
||||
|
||||
usage:
|
||||
-l, --lock effect-name
|
||||
locks with provided effect
|
||||
-w, --wall effect-name
|
||||
set desktop background with provided effect
|
||||
-s, --suspend effect-name
|
||||
lockscreen and suspend
|
||||
|
||||
Available effects:
|
||||
dim, blur or dimblur
|
||||
|
||||
-t, --text "custom text"
|
||||
set custom lockscreen text
|
||||
-b, blur 0.0 - 1.0
|
||||
set blur range
|
||||
-r, --resolution res
|
||||
uses a custom resolution
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Usage examples:
|
||||
1. Updating image cache(required)
|
||||
betterlockscreen -u ~/Pictures/Forests.png # caches given image
|
||||
betterlockscreen -u ~/Pictures # caches random image from ~/Pictures directory
|
||||
|
||||
2. Custom resolution and blur range
|
||||
betterlockscreen -u path/to/directory -r 1920x1080 -b 0.5
|
||||
In this case a random image from the directory is chosen
|
||||
and converted to a 1920x1080 resolution with the blur factor set to 0.5
|
||||
|
||||
3. Lockscreen
|
||||
betterlockscreen -l dim # lockscreen with dim effect
|
||||
|
||||
4. Lockscreen with custom text
|
||||
betterlockscreen -l dim -t "custom lockscreen text"
|
||||
|
||||
5. Set desktop background

|
||||
## Manual Installation

|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/pavanjadhaw/betterlockscreen
|
||||
# optionally copy the script to /usr/local/bin so you can execute it everywhere

### Debian based users
|
||||
|
||||
UtkarshVerma was so kind to provide an installation script for debian based systems, [check it out here.](https://github.com/UtkarshVerma/installer-scripts/blob/master/betterlockscreen.sh)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
To set desktop background on startup, add following lines to your .xintrc after pushing script to your path or you can use absolute path to script too
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
exec betterlockscreen -w
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you are i3wm user, add following line to your i3config (~/.config/i3/config or ~/.i3/config)
|
||||
|
||||
*custom shortcut to lockscreen*
|
||||
```
|
||||
# custom keybinding to lockscreen, use --lock dim or --lock blur below for different backgrounds
|
||||
bindsym $mod+shift+x exec betterlockscreen --lock
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
*set last cached image as desktop background*
|
||||
```
|
||||
# Set last used image as desktop background
|
||||
exec --no-startup-id betterlockscreen -w
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
*set the image cache to a random image from a directory of your choice on each startup*
|
||||
```
|
||||
# where Pictures/Wallpapers is the directory you would want to get random wallpapers from
|
||||
exec --no-startup-id betterlockscreen -u ~/Pictures/Wallpapers
|
||||
|
||||
# add this only if you want to use same random image as desktop background too
|
||||
# it might not work as it takes few seconds for images to be cached,
|
||||
# try adding delay of 5 seconds if thats the case
|
||||
exec --no-startup-id betterlockscreen -w
|
||||
```
