See https://faq.i3wm.org/question/778/why-is-patch-not-merged-and-made-optional/ for some rationale behind this decision. With i3lock, the case is much stronger than with i3. It really is a minimal screen locker. If you need anything fancy, use a different one please. Also, without a GUI toolkit, you will have a bad time implementing this, just as a warning :). -- Best regards, Michael
