i3lock-next

i3lock-next is a Python 3 script and C helper program much like i3lock-fancy. i3lock-next aims to be much faster by using Imlib2 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 - a fork of i3lock that supports custom ring colors
• Imlib2

Most of these should be available via the package manager for your distribution.
