## awesome-screensaver

### Description

Widget for the [awesome window manager](https://awesome.naquadah.org/) that

allows to enable/disable the screensaver and change the timeout for the

screensaver to activate. Currently, the only supported mode is

black-screen/monitor-poweroff.

The implementation depends on ``xset``.

### Installation

Drop the script into your awesome config folder. Suggestion:

```bash

cd ~/.config/awesome

git clone https://github.com/deficient/screensaver.git

sudo pacman -S xorg-xset

```

### Usage

In your `~/.config/awesome/rc.lua`:

```lua

-- load the module

local screensaver = require("screensaver")

-- instanciate the control

screensaver_ctrl = screensaver({})

-- add the widget to your wibox

right_layout:add(screensaver_ctrl.widget)

```

### Requirements

* [awesome 4.0](http://awesome.naquadah.org/) or possibly 3.5

* xorg xset
