1 Message 2 ======= 3 4 Description 5 ----------- 6 This patch lets you add a message to your lock screen. You can place a default 7 message in `config.h`, and you can also pass a message with `-m message` 8 9 So, for instance, you can run 10 11 slock -m "Locked at $(date "+%a %d, %H:%M:%S")" 12 13 Or if you want a silly lockscreen 14 15 slock -m "$(cowsay "$(fortune)")" 16 17 Notes 18 ----- 19 This adds three items to `config.h`: 20 21 * `message` - the default message 22 * `text_color` - which can be a hex color or a colorname (like "black") 23 * `font_name` - which must be some valid X11 font name like "6x10". This variable was (somewhat wrongly) named "text_size" in the previous version. 24 25 *A list of font names can be generated with* `slock -f` 26 27 * Exclusive to xft: `config.h` 28 29 * `font_name` - which can be name of font in `fc-list` or `slock -f` like in dwm, but without (antialias=true:autohint=true) as it's by default added. 30 * `font_size` - it reffers to size of font you want to display in message in floating point, e.g., 18.0 31 32 33 Download 34 -------- 35 * [slock-message-20261008-65cb721.diff](slock-message-20261008-65cb721.diff) 36 * [slock-message-xft-20261008-65cb721.diff](slock-message-xft-20261008-65cb721.diff) 37 38 Previous Version 39 ---------------- 40 * [slock-message-20191002-b46028b.diff](slock-message-20191002-b46028b.diff) --- [bug-fixes](bug-fixes) 41 * [slock-message-20180626-35633d4.diff](slock-message-20180626-35633d4.diff) 42 43 Authors 44 ------- 45 * Blair Drummond - blair.robert.drummond@gmail.com 46 * Sourav Nayak - <nonameblank007@gmail.com>
