Change the color of the lockscreen in i3

[cecca]

Hi!
I'm like the i3wm and the possibility to configure it (and also the fact that is lightweight and so much keyboard oriented) but I'm facing few drawbacks that I can't solve by myself

By example: how can I give to i3lock a color for when the xautolock will get in action?  don't like the fact that my screen is readable before inserting my password.
I've tried adding the

Code: [Select]

--color "$bg-color" to the i3block part in i3 config without success

Can you help me, please?

Example

Code: [Select]

exec --no-startup-id xautolock -time 10 -locker 'i3lock -c ######' &
Replace ###### with a proper color in RRGGBB format.

Example

Code: [Select]

exec --no-startup-id xautolock -time 10 -locker 'i3lock -c ######' &
Replace ###### with a proper color in RRGGBB format.

Thanks.
From the CLI is working (

Code: [Select]

i3lock -c 2081D5) but not from the config file:

Code: [Select]

exec --no-startup-id xautolock -time 10 -locker 'i3lock-fancy -g -p -c 2081D5' & Above the standard line with only my edit for the color

Ill search for a solution, maybe I can try the indications at
Creating a custom lockscreen with i3lock

[lami07]

Code: [Select]

-locker 'i3lock-fancy -g -p -c 2081D5'This part tells xautolock to use I3lock-fancy as a locking mechanism. And I3lock-fancy is not the same as I3lock.
Use the example I gave you.

I see... But what I wish to accomplish is the same as i3lock-fancy

I've just to find out what's missing since it doesn't take a snapshot before locking the screen

Thans for pointing me in the right direction anyway
