Re: [Announce] Enhanced lockscreen
 
Very good looking lock screen indeed!

I also think it's better to keep it simple than to add a **** load of stuff that's not really needed. Personally I think a huge clock + info on missed calls/unread messages is all that's really needed. If I need more information I'll just unlock it.

Unfortunately I'm having problems receiving calls using the program so I'll leave it until next version which hopefully solves this problem. Missing calls all the time is not an option I'm afraid ;)

As usual, thanks a lot & keep up the good work Mohammad!

The image should change the next time the lockscreen shows.

I am sure I am doing something wrong since the image doesn't change but I don't know what :(

I got the enhanced-lockscreen.conf Modified open but I am not sure how to take it from there... :D

Could you please help a grateful goofy user? :o

/path/to/image means for example you have your image in /home/user/MyDocs with the name example.jpg

so the command will be .

[main]
background-url=/home/user/MyDocs/example.jpg

I got the path thing ;) I don't know if I simply type the code in the page and then shut down Xterm or If there's something else I am missing...

And since I am asking for help, I think I should contribute with a proposal for the artwork :)

When you type "nano .config/MohammadAG/enhanced-lockscreen.conf", this will create a file called enhanced-lockscreen.conf. You should be in your home directory (/home/user/) when you type this command. Instead of nano you can use leafpad which worked fine for me.
An empty document (newly created and named enhanced-lockscreen.conf) will open. In there you type:

[main]
background-url=/correctpathtothepictureyouwant/

And then you save, type "killall enhanced-lockscreen" as root. And then you type "enhanced-lockscreen". Then the image should appear :)

Remember that the pathway in the conf-file should be from the root directory. E.g "/home/user/MyDocs/.images/picture.jpg" if your picture is stored in the pictures folder :)

Sorry for the long reply!

It's just a picture / mock up of what he'd like to see.

If you ever find yourself in nano again remember this

Ctrl + x = Exit what you're working and be prompted to save
Ctrl + o = save without exiting

then you'll be on your way to laughing at people not using ed. Bwhahahah
