Screen Locking

This module sets how much time must pass before the screen locks, how long you can unlock it without a password, and how the lock screen looks.

• Lock screen automatically: The period of inactivity before the screen locks, from a list of times or Custom…, or Never.
• Lock after waking from sleep: Locks the screen after the system has been suspended.
• Delay before password required: If you press a key or click a mouse button within this time, you can return to your work without a password. Choose Require password immediately, a list of times, or Never require password. The password is the one you log in with.

Locking the screen manually turns password protection on immediately. The default shortcut, Meta+L, locks the screen. You can change it in Shortcuts.

#Appearance

Configure Appearance… changes the background of the lock screen. Wallpaper type can be a plain color, a single image, or a slideshow of images from a folder, and you can load new wallpapers from the Internet.
