glitchlock's Issues

scrot

Why just don't use
scrot /tmp/lock.jpg

Instead of
scrot /tmp/lock.png
convert /tmp/lock.png /tmp/lock.jpg
file=/tmp/lock.jpg

?

Wayland fork

Hey 👋

I'm not sure if this will be of interest, but I used to use glitchlock on i3 and since I have now switched to Wayland, I "ported" over the basis of this script for use over there.

I'm maintaining a fork here: https://github.com/crablab/glitchlock/

Just wanted to let you know 😄

scrot don't overwrite previous picture

Hello, previously scrot overwrite the previously taken screenshot but it's not still the case.

The problem is the same image is glitching over and over again.

I think there are two possibilities to change this, just delete the image at the end of the script (after unlocking) or add the -o flag to scrot so it could overwrite it.

Copying instead of moving in /tmp/ for glitching the same image

In the paragraph where you explain how to use a preselected image instead of scrot, using mv would cause the same image to be glitched over and over resulting in not aesthetically good results (grey screen basically). I suggest you to change the mv to cp here.

with a command to move your pre-setup screenshot into place (e.g. mv ~/lib/img/lock.png /tmp/lock.png) then let the script randomly glitch that image out everytime.

Is there a way to put overlayed image on bottom instead of centered?

This is not a real issue, but there is a way to put the image (in the default case stop.png) in the bottom of the screen instead of at the center of?
