Screen locker: gtklock

• Author: Jovan Lanik

The shell uses Jovan Lanik’s gtklock as the default locker in the ‘Idle & Lock screen’ settings. We add a random image background (local or from unsplash.com), and (optionally) a media player control window over the lock screen.

Alternatively, as a locker you can use the well-known swaylock by Drew DeVault.
