Configuration

Slimlock reads the same configuration files you use for SLiM. It looks in CFGDIR/slim.conf and CFGDIR/slimlock.conf, where CFGDIR is defined when built - usually /etc. The options that are read from slim.conf are hidecursor, current_theme, background_color and background_style, screenshot_cmd, and welcome_msg. See the SLiM docs for more information.

slimlock.conf contains the following settings:

dpms_standby_timeout

number of seconds of inactivity before the screen blanks. Default: 60

dpms_off_timeout

number of seconds of inactivity before the screen is turned off. Default: 600

wrong_passwd_timeout

delay in seconds after an incorrect password is entered. Default: 2
