i3lock-fancy - Bash script around i3lock for fancy effect

Takes a screenshot of the desktop, blurs the background and adds a lock icon and text. This blurred image is then given to i3lock as the lockscreen background.

i3lock-fancy [options]

Display a help screen and exit.

Attempt to minimize all windows before locking.

Set background to greyscale instead of color.

Pixelate the background instead of blur, runs faster.

Set a custom font.

Set a custom text prompt.

Display a list of possible fonts for use with -f/--font.

Note: this option will not lock the screen, it displays the list and exits immediately.

Do not fork i3lock after starting.

IMPORTANT: See KNWON BUGS section.

--
Must be last option. Set command to use for taking a screenshot. Default is ´import -window root´. Using ´scrot´ or ´maim´ will increase script speed and allow setting custom flags like having a delay.

As of now, forking does not occur whether one uses `-n` or not. See https://github.com/meskarune/i3lock-fancy/issues/144 for more information regarding this bug.
