### LOCK ME

A simple screen locker which requires `imagemagick`, `xss-lock` and `i3lock` to be installed.

### Installation

Just copy the `lockme` script and put it somewhere in your `$PATH`.

I use `BSPWM` so in my `sxhkdrc`, I have this line to lock the screen using `lockme`.

```bash

...

# Lock the screen

super + x

    ~/.local/bin/lockme lock

...

```

To enable it on system startup so you will get screen locked once in-active for some minutes, you can use `lockme` with `xss-lock`. Put this in your `~/.xprofile.

I have `lockme` in my homedir `~/.local/bin/lockme`.

```bash

...

xset dpms 180 &

~/.local/bin/lockme start

...

```
