Pipeline status -- master

pipeline status -- development

An incredibly heavy implementation of a program to take a screencap, blur it, and lock the session using said image as the lockscreen background.

The core program is outlined in main.cpp and provides the imblur executable.

Installation

$ git clone https://gitlab.com/sugas182/screen-locker.git screen-locker
$ cd screen-locker/ 
$ cmake -B build 
$ cmake --build build --target all -- -j4 
$ cmake --install build

Dependencies

1. imlib2 to use the imlib2_grab function. Any drop-in replacement should be fine. We just need the image.
2. i3lock or similar screen-locker that can accept an image to be used as background. See screen-lock and replace i3lock with its associated syntax with your screen locker of choice.
3. See Dockerfile for a minimal ubuntu installation example.
   • This project requires the following packages:
     • boost : apt install libboost-all-dev
     • OpenCV: apt install libopencv-dev

spdlog: A fast c++ logging library. Install using your package manager.

imblur's Issues

Do not need to build everything for all PRs/pushes

Feature: Blur only lines of text in an image

Instead of blurring the entire image, identify lines of text and blur just that.

Rationale:
- I'm using OpenCV anyway.
- This would be a fun non-trivial project idea.

fix build failure in migration from gitlabci to github ci

CI build process is extremely slow.

BUild even a small update to the documentation requires building and installing all the dependencies, over and over again. This takes incredibly long and wears on my patience
