      1 Color Message
      2 =============
      3 
      4 Description
      5 -----------
      6 Based on the message patch, This patch lets you add a message to your lock screen, using 24 bit color ANSI escape codes.
      7 
      8 Exactly like in the original patch, You can place a default message in `config.h`, and you can also pass a message with `-m message`
      9 
     10 For example, you can run
     11 
     12 	slock -m "$(printf "text colored \x1b[38;2;0;255;0m green\x1b[39m\n")"
     13 
     14 to color a single word
     15 
     16 Or, you can go all in and run
     17 
     18 	slock -m "$(cowsay "$(fortune)" | lolcat -ft)"

     20 Notes
     21 -----
     22 This adds three items to `config.h`:
     23 
     24 * `message` - the default message
     25 * `text_color` - the color used when no color codes are in effect. can be a hex color or a colorname
     26 * `font_name` - which must be some valid X11 font name like "6x10".
     27 
     28 *A list of font names can be generated with* `slock -f`
     29 
     30 *When using lolcat you should add the -ft options*
