README
# This project has been succeeded by [i3lockr](https://github.com/owenthewizard/i3lockr)
# i3lock-next
`i3lock-next` is a Python 3 script and C helper program much like [i3lock-fancy](https://github.com/meskarune/i3lock-fancy). i3lock-next aims to be much faster by using [Imlib2](https://docs.enlightenment.org/api/imlib2/html/index.html) rather than ImageMagick, and being written (mostly) in C.

## Features
- Built-in support for custom lock images: the `i3lock` indicator will scale automatically.
- Speed: `i3lock-next` is very fast because most of the image manipulation is done in C.
- Multi-monitor support: what it says on the tin.
## Dependencies
- [i3lock-color](https://github.com/chrjguill/i3lock-color) - a fork of i3lock that supports custom ring colors
- [Imlib2](https://docs.enlightenment.org/api/imlib2/html/)
- [bash](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/)
- [fontconfig](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/fontconfig/)
- [libXrandr](https://www.x.org/wiki/libraries/libxrandr/)
Most of these should be available via the package manager for your distribution.
