i3lcc (i3lock-configuratorinator)

The mildly useful project nobody asked for! Configuration program for i3lock-color

Quick installation

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mgord9518/i3lcc/main/install.bash 2>/dev/null;bash install.bash;rm install.bash

It can also be run directly if downloaded from github if the file structure is kept the same.

Uninstallation

Simply run the install one-liner again, it will automatically detect the install and ask if you want to remove it. Or if you want to manually uninstall:

rm -rv ~/.local/share/i3lcc \
       ~/.local/share/applications/i3lcc.desktop \
       ~/.local/share/icons/locolor/scalable/apps/i3lcc.svg \
       ~/.local/bin/i3lcc \
       ~/.config/i3lcc # (if you want to remove your configuration as well)

This is in very early development, I highly recommend launching from a terminal so Python error messages can be read

Dependencies

pyqt5 python3 imagemagick i3lock-color libnotify-bin

Short term goals:

• Detect whether i3lock-color and imagemagick are on the system, display an error message if not found
• Add more background screenshot filters using imagemagick (blur)
• Find and squash bugs
• Tweak and purdify code (especially getting rid of old, deprecated code)

Mid term goals:

• Create AUR and DEB packages (and maybe Flatpak? Fuck Snap.)
• Add support for more image formats using imagemagick
