lock [options]
Options:
-h, --help This help menu.
-d, --desktop Attempt to minimize all windows before locking. Requires wmctrl.
-g, --greyscale Set background to greyscale instead of color.
-p, --pixelate Pixelate the background instead of blur, runs faster.
-f <fontname>, --font <fontname> Set a custom font.
-t <text>, --text <text> Set a custom text prompt.
-l, --listfonts Display a list of possible fonts for use with -f/--font.
Note: this option will not lock the screen, it displays
the list and exits immediately.
-n, --nofork Do not fork i3lock after starting.
-- Must be last option. Set command to use for taking a
screenshot. Default is 'import -window root'. Using 'scrot'
or 'maim' will increase script speed and allow setting
custom flags like haing a delay.
example: lock -gpf Comic-Sans-MS -- scrot -z
The lock screen in action:
To use this script you can set a hotkey in your window manager to run the lock command, set xautolock to run at boot, or use a systemd script to either lock on suspend or run xautolock.
xautolock is a utility to automatically lock the screen after a set time. It also supports hot corners.
Systemd Unit file example (edit for your own use):

There is a branch called dual monitor with support for multiple monitors. This branch uses a grey icon and text with outlines to make it visible on light and dark backgrounds (though it looks better on dark backgrounds). I am still working to get it looking just right right. The script is usable now, but it's under developement and things may change.
