hyprlock is a simple, yet fast, multi-threaded and GPU-accelerated screen
lock for hyprland.
{{< toc >}}
## Configuration
Configuration is done via the config file at `~/.config/hypr/hyprlock.conf`. It is not required, but recommended. Without it, locking shows the current screen.
### General
Variables in the `general` category:
| variable | description | type | default |
| -- | -- | -- | -- |
| disable_loading_bar | disables the loading bar on the bottom of the screen while hyprlock is booting up. | bool | false |
| hide_cursor | hides the cursor instead of making it visible | bool | true |
| grace | the amount of seconds for which the lockscreen will unlock on mouse movement. | int | 0 |
| no_fade_in | disables the fadein animation | bool | false |
## Widgets
The entire configuration of how hyprlock looks is done via widgets.
```ini
widget_name {
monitor =
# further options
}
```
`monitor` can be left empty for "all monitors"
## Widget List
### General remarks
- All rendered text supports [pango markup](https://docs.gtk.org/Pango/pango_markup.html).
- Additionally hyprlock will parse `
` for your convenience. (That's a linebreak) Remember to enable linebreaks in your spans with `allow_breaks="true"`.
- Positioning is done via halign, valign and position. Position is an added offset to the result of alignment.
- halign: `left`, `center`, `right`, `none`. valign: `top`, `center`, `bottom`, `none`
### Background
Draws a background image or fills with color.
If `path` is empty or missing, will use `color`. Otherwise, the image will be used.
If `path` is `screenshot`, a screenshot of your desktop at launch will be used.
```ini
background {
monitor =
path = /home/me/someImage.png # only png supported for now
color = rgba(25, 20, 20, 1.0)
# all these options are taken from hyprland, see https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Variables/#blur for explanations
blur_passes = 0 # 0 disables blurring
blur_size = 7
noise = 0.0117
contrast = 0.8916
brightness = 0.8172
vibrancy = 0.1696
vibrancy_darkness = 0.0
}
```
### Input Field
Draws a password input field.
```ini
input-field {
monitor =
size = 200, 50
outline_thickness = 3
dots_size = 0.33 # Scale of input-field height, 0.2 - 0.8
dots_spacing = 0.15 # Scale of dots' absolute size, 0.0 - 1.0
dots_center = false
outer_color = rgb(151515)
inner_color = rgb(200, 200, 200)
font_color = rgb(10, 10, 10)
fade_on_empty = true
placeholder_text = Input Password... # Text rendered in the input box when it's empty.
hide_input = false
position = 0, -20
halign = center
valign = center
}
```
### Label
Draws a label.
```ini
label {
monitor =
text = Hi there, $USER
color = rgba(200, 200, 200, 1.0)
font_size = 25
font_family = Noto Sans
position = 0, 80
halign = center
valign = center
}
```
Available variables for `text`:
- `$USER` - username
- `$TIME` - current time (e.g. `13:37`)
`text` also supports launching commands, for example:
```ini
text = cmd[update:1000] echo "$(date)"
```
Worth noting:
- `update:` - time is in ms.
- Variables seen above are parsed _before_ the command is ran.
- **do not** run commands that never exit. This will hang the AsyncResourceGatherer and you won't have a good time.
