1) I tried the script for the remote locking of the device and it works, but if the user moves the lock/unlock switch on top of the device (the button over the screen), the device will be unlocked again.

there is a way to avoid this behavior? asking in a different way: does exists a remote command for the TOTAL lock of the device?

What you're after is to more or less the same thing as locking a workstation where the user is required to enter a user/pass to get access to the device again. There's a thread here somewhere on how to add a user/pass login to your tablet with the ability to lock it again later with user/pass if you need to.

2) can the command be modified in a way to don't show in the middle of the screen only the huge lock, and instead displaying only the info message "Touch screen and display locked" like in the normal usage?

See previous reply.

3) I noticed that the brightness decrease when the device is locked: can I avoid this behavior and keep the brightness always at the same level?

thanks in advance.

bye bye

That's a DBUS thing. I'd suspect there's an "always on" thing that goes with this, but I don't know the syntax to pull that off. Maybe someone else who knows could toss in their 2c on that.
