SYNOPSIS
blurlock [options]
DESCRIPTION
blurlock is a wrapper around i3lock that takes a screenshot of the current screen, applies a blur effect, and uses it as the lock screen background. This provides a visually appealing lock screen while obscuring screen contents.
The tool is commonly used with the i3 window manager and related tiling window managers.
PARAMETERS
-u, --no-unlock-indicator
Disable the unlock indicator (no feedback on keypress)-p, --pointer mode
Control mouse pointer visibility (default hides pointer)-f, --show-failed-attempts
Display the number of failed login attempts
CAVEATS
Requires i3lock and ImageMagick or similar for blur effects. Screenshot capture adds a slight delay before locking. May not work correctly with multiple monitors.
