This is something I always wanted but didn't have enough time/will to dig into 
it. Would you mind sharing your solution?


What about not creating the black window at all?


Thanks. Commenting a few lines solved it. The code is pretty clear and 
nice ;-)

I use a combination of xss and xkeygrab to lock my screen but allow
the UI to update in the background so I can see incoming emails and
chats. I imagine you could use a combination of a screencap and a
static image display screen saver.

[dwm] Replacing slock screen overlay with screenshot / bitmap

[Antony Jepson]

Hello.

This is a random thought that popped into my head earlier on today but I
was wondering if it would be possible to replace the black screen
overlay (I assume that's what it is) with a screen shot of the desktop,
taken immediately as slock is executed.  My intent is to have a static
picture of the screen so that when someone tries to use it, nothing
happens, i.e., the desktop is locked.

Is this possible?  Well, of course it is, but the real question is,
would someone be willing to help implement it / point me in the right
direction?

Thanks.
