Re-work of Khings original PR #1173

+ All 3 layouts done ✅
+ Dynamic wallpaper same as background ✅
+ Dynamic color accents same as theme ✅
+ Restructured a few modules and cleaned them ✅

+ Positioned them like this on purpose for layout 1 because I have the same style and colors for sddm config, 
for a pr after this.
+ sddm config also added ✅
+ need to work on user avatar for sddm though

I saw them. But just wanted something simple for the default lock screen. Of course people who are config savvy can swap out their lockscreen. And would probably have already. I’m just doing this for the average people out there who blindly install arch and hyprdots just cause it looks cool. 😎😂

@rubiin, @abenezerw i know im not him but from using this config here's what i know needs to be changed so far:
keybindings.conf needs the line bindl = ,switch:Lid Switch, exec, hyprlock (also needs to change the default lock bind to use hyprlock instead of swaylock) and the wlogout layouts need to be fixed.

I have merged this to my fork and perform some testing and want to share my suggestions:

/Configs/.config/hypr/keybindings.conf:

-bind = $mainMod, L, exec, swaylock # launch lock screen
+bind = $mainMod, L, exec, hyprlock # launch lock screen

/Scripts/restore_fnt.lst

+Font_Anurati|$HOME/.local/share/fonts

/Scripts/custom_hypr.lst

-swaylock-effects-git
+hypridle
+hyprlock

[rubiin]

Do share here of you came across anything that is lagging or needs tweaking

I have some additional thoughts, want to discuss it here:

1. Hyprdots keyboard switch is not compatible with any screenlock (hyprlock/swaylock), to fix this input.kb_options should be used to switch keyboard layout. Using kb_options allow you to switch layout on lockscreen, otherwise you are stuck and unable to input password correctly.

   Example:

   input {
       kb_options = grp:win_space_toggle
   }
   

2. Hyprlock layouts do not show current keyboard layout, which can be confusing, maybe to add display of layout if it is other, than default one?

   Example:

   # Keyboard layout
   label {
       monitor =
       text = $LAYOUT[!]
       color = $p4_accent_9_rgba
       font_size = 14
       font_family = $font_family Medium
       position = 30, 30
       halign = left
       valign = bottom
   }

One suggestion here for layout3:

/Configs/.config/hypr/hyprlock/presets/layout3.conf:

-text = cmd[update:1000] echo "$(date +"%A")"   
+text = cmd[update:1000] date +"%A" | awk '{ print toupper($0) }'

After this change Anurati font will apply for all letters, noy only for first. Looks like this font contains only capital letters.

good catch. i forgot about this one. basically just set it all up locally and forgot about this pr.

@abenezerw any thing left to update ?

i dont think so. even if anything is left. i think they can be updated with extra prs. this is just the bare minimum.

[rubiin]

@kRHYME7 LGTM. Its been on review for a while.
