Can you remove the ring somehow?

[davidv171]

I'm currently doing a macabre-ish theme so my lock icon is haloofthesun, that has a dark background and a red sign.

But the green circle when I start typing is so ugly and misaligned with the lock icon that I'm really thinking of removing it. How do I do that? I've changed the parametres for the ring colors but I didnt see any effects.

I removed this:

param=("--textcolor=ffffff00" "--insidecolor=ffffff1c" "--ringcolor=ffffff3e" \ "--linecolor=ffffff00" "--keyhlcolor=00000080" "--ringvercolor=00000000" \ "--separatorcolor=22222260" "--insidevercolor=0000001c" \ "--ringwrongcolor=00000055" "--insidewrongcolor=0000001c")

i3lock creates rings as a password indicator. In order to remove them you will need to make their apha channel transparent and thus invisible.

I've implemented this in my PR #126 , using a command-line feature now present in i3lock. They now have an option '-u' that does just what @davidv171 wants.

Just a heads up, the issue is still open because @Boruch-Baum and @AladW argued. The thing is, we still don't have a '-u' parameter to pass, which would be really cool.

I think we should revisit the issue and allow to pass arbitrary arguments for i3lock-color after "--", instead of using it to select the screenshot utility.

I agree, but let's see what the maintainer thinks.

In the meantime, I managed to fix the missing -u parameter thing. I modified the i3lock-fancy script, I'm referring to line 13 where the variable i3lock_cmd is set.

I ended up adding the -u parameter there. Everything is working fine.
