Really enjoy your very informative and enjoyable tutorials. I am using Hypr on Arch as well and really like how you have the theming setup to mach the colors of the wallpaper. Is there a possibility a video could be presented highlighting steps to do this with pywall? Either way, thank you! 🐧
Very impressed with your progress! great job. What about a beautiful Plymouth boot-up and login sequence like that implemented in Archcraft Wayland Premium. Next video? ;)
Hello! Stephan I have been following you in your videos which in turns are very helpful and full of information. I love the way you explain things. With no exception on this video about swaylock. I have a quick question. I know you have done a video about NIXOS and I have watched it too. My question is How would you go about configure swaylock in NIXOS? Would you help me or point me to the right direction? Thank you in advance!
My only problem, @mylinuxforwork is that swayidle fires up even if I'm watching a video. I really would like to watch a movie without to enter my password every 300 seconds (or other amount of time). Ofcourse I can disable swaylock and swayidle from config every time I watch a video, but it's quite annoying. Is there a way to script a rule to leave the laptop awake if a video is playing?
So maybe I should look into swaylock-effects. Right now I use a script to take a screenshot and blur it and place it in temp and then start swaylock and provide that file.
thanks a lot for your work I am just having the issue that whenever im watching a video it will still lock the screen , am i missing something ? thanks again
hi can samoneone help me pls i want to open chatgpt via browser without borders .. its something like exec, brave and then where i put chatgpt link and where i remove border?
How exactly do you get pywal to generate the colors-wlogout.css file? It didn’t exist for me when I went into .cache/wal, tried just making one using touch and refreshing pywal before trying wlogout again and got nothing but a bunch of errors
@@alpermusademir No problem with seaylock. But hyprlock is part of the Hyprland Ecosystem. And I hope for even more features and best integration into the core system. Let’s see.
can you help me to install it on debian? i've been searching for tutorials to install swaylock-effects on debian but all i got are swaylock installation...
Hi. Unfortunately I have no experience with Debian so far. What about opening an issue on the swaylock-effects github page and ask the developers for support? I hope there is a way that you can use swaylock-effects on debian.
@@mylinuxforwork I found a solution, I downloaded the fork of swaylock-effects which is swaylock-blur and it works now but no clock just blurry screen. swaylock-effects is still not in debian stable repository

3 hours ago I argued with Wlogout configuration and now your video. Divine synchrony. 😂😮
Great. Have fun with it!
I wish I knew enough to turn this all into a Nix flake, thank you for all your hard work!
Thank you.
yes! This is the dream! Also secretly hoping he will make some NIx content :)
Dear, your work is wonderfull, i use it and now my system ARCH is perfect. Thanks.
Thank you so much.
Bro, you are the best 👌
Pls do a pywal guide
Yes. That’s a good idea.

Thank you. I will prepare a dedicated video about pywal.
@@mylinuxforwork That would be fantastic, looking forward to it! Truly appreciate your time and efforts.
loving these videos, keep up the great work :)
Thank you so much.
this video saved me a lot of time. thx
Great. Thank you.

Thanks for your comment. Will definitely look into it.

Would you help me or point me to the right direction? Thank you in advance!
Thanks for your feedback. In that case I cannot help you. Never did this before. But I will try to bring the dotfiles to more distros. Let’s see.
My only problem, @mylinuxforwork is that swayidle fires up even if I'm watching a video. I really would like to watch a movie without to enter my password every 300 seconds (or other amount of time).
Ofcourse I can disable swaylock and swayidle from config every time I watch a video, but it's quite annoying.
Is there a way to script a rule to leave the laptop awake if a video is playing?
Yeah. You're right. Have the same issue in Teams meetings. Will check how to disable swayidle temporarily if needed.
how to disable background blur and use current workspace as background in ur wlogout dotfiles? i mean like normal or default config of waybar.
You can use a screenshot from your workspace. gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/swaylock/config?ref_type=heads
Wow, Hyprland almost complete! now what about (qtile like) scratchpads?
There are two interesting extensions available: github.com/hyprland-community/hpr-scratcher and github.com/sasheto-phizika/hyprscratch. Will test it.
Awesome video! I was trying to follow you but I don't see your swaylock config file in your dotfiles. Did you remove it? Thank you for your help!
Hi. That’s correct. I moved to hyprlock. But you can find the swaylock config here gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/tree/2.7/swaylock?ref_type=tags
@@mylinuxforwork Thank You so much! Keep up with the great job!
So maybe I should look into swaylock-effects. Right now I use a script to take a screenshot and blur it and place it in temp and then start swaylock and provide that file.
Cool. How do you blur the screenshot?
@@mylinuxforwork I mixed in some oldschool technology by using ImageMagick's mogrify:
```
#!/bin/bash
fn=$(mktemp --suffix .png)
grim "${fn}"
mogrify -filter Gaussian -blur 0x15 "${fn}"
swaylock --image "${fn}"
rm "${fn}"
```
Locking the screen takes 2-3 seconds, though.
Awesome video, is there anyway I can change the layout position of the wlogout buttons?
Never tried it before. But pretty sure that there’s a way. The layout is defined with css.
@@mylinuxforwork gotta take a closer look then, thanks
I don't get that swaylock clock
swaylock: unrecognized option '--clock'
I'm using a config file for swaylock, not parameters. Make sure that indicator is enabled.
thanks a lot for your work I am just having the issue that whenever im watching a video it will still lock the screen , am i missing something ? thanks again
If you’re using waybar, you can add the module github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Module:-Idle-Inhibitor and switch it off.
@@mylinuxforwork thanks, keep up the good work
hi can samoneone help me pls i want to open chatgpt via browser without borders .. its something like exec, brave and then where i put chatgpt link and where i remove border?
You can try brave --app=chat.openai.com
How exactly do you get pywal to generate the colors-wlogout.css file? It didn’t exist for me when I went into .cache/wal, tried just making one using touch and refreshing pywal before trying wlogout again and got nothing but a bunch of errors
I have created a Pywal template gitlab.com/stephan-raabe/dotfiles/-/blob/main/wal/templates/colors-wlogout.css?ref_type=heads
Stylin'.
👍
Where is the Swaylock configuration file in the repository?
Not anymore. I have moved to hyprlock. But you can find the old swaylock config in older tags on GitLab.
@@mylinuxforwork Thank you. Why did you switch to hyprlock? Something wrong with swaylock?
@@alpermusademir No problem with seaylock. But hyprlock is part of the Hyprland Ecosystem. And I hope for even more features and best integration into the core system. Let’s see.
After suspend, I cannot enter my password, while I could alt+f6 and login with tty.
Thanks for your feedback. Will look into it.

The circle thing is weird, and there is no indication to enter a password. Even a small text saying "enter password" would make more sense.
This is how the package is implemented by the sway lock developer.
@@mylinuxforwork duh.
Linux is weird, that's the point. We like our weird stuff.
I'm giving this a try without using all of your dots, but I can't find the colors-wlogout.css on my "/.cache/wal/" folder. what am I missing here D:
