How to change time for the screen to lock?
 
Is there a way, to set my custom time to lock my screen?
I mean, I want my screen to turn off after like... 10 seconds? 15?

I'm looking for a program for that, or some kind of clever terminal command.

Is it possible to do something like that?

I'm not sure about a custom time-out, but there's an option:

Settings --> Display --> Backlight time-out: 10 Seconds

That should do it if you also have "Lock Screen Automatically" checked..

Quick reply...
About Settings --> Display --> Backlight time-out (on N900):
If you want to set another value - which is not in the list - you can go to X-Terminal, and type:
Code:

gconftool-2 -g /system/osso/dsm/display/possible_display_dim_timeouts
It should output (in seconds): [10, 30, 60, 120]
Then, if you want to add a value - say, 15 seconds:
Code:

gconftool-2 --set --type=list --list-type=int /system/osso/dsm/display/possible_display_dim_timeouts [10, 15, 30, 60, 120]
Best wishes.

Hi guys! As it is possible to increase lookscreen display time (while it will not go out), and that too quickly it disappears and I have not time to see data about weather. It is necessary to press POWER button some times. In advance thanks for the help!

It's not exactly obvious... But I have found the source tree of touchscreen-keypad lock screen. Though, I still don't see when and why it decides it is no longer needed.
Without lockscreen. User active: screen bright. Dim_timeout seconds without user actions: screen dims. Blank_timeout seconds of dim screen without user actions: screen blanks.
With lockscreen. TKLock screen waits for about five seconds for user to start acting; then the screen, without changing its brightness, blanks. I have not found where the value for its timeout is written.
Best wishes.
