Hey DT i was messing around with the slock files, and im trying to display some unicode characters through the message patch but i cant find a font that displays them correctly. i did slock -f and tried a few and nothing seems to work, are any of those fonts utf-8?

You should probably set user=nobody and group=nobody, so that the display locker has no privileges for better security. The only reason that it doesn't work initially is because Arch calls the no-privilege group nobody, and not nogroup.

This is cool - I'm finally getting into the suckless stuff. Been thinking about how to use a full screen terminal with unimatrix running. That one patch you mentioned could make it possible, I assume. Will look into it.

Its always interesting to see things like this. I would never want to use it, but interesting to see nonetheless. Clearly the suckless teams definition of suck, is very different from mine -

-It would be frustrating if you had your caps key on-
Bruh... -setxkbmap -option caps:none-
Then rebind it to open a launcher such as dmenu or rofi. You're welcome.

I've got this error on my Fedora 32 :
No protocol specified
slock: cannot open display
Anyone else as it ? Anyone know how to solve it ? I can't find docs on it

On debian 11, there was no configuration required and it works great. I really like slock's defaults; it is so simple an nice and it sucks less than others.

I use slock. It works great for minimal desktop environments that do not provide any screen locking functionality. It is elegant in it's simplicity.

Every video showcasing Suckless software should always have the subtitle: that you have to compile and patch yourself in order to make it usable!

I'm looking to build a slock fork that blurs a screenshot with ImageMagick. Can't really understand the documentation though
