XScreenSaver is a ubiquitous program on Unix for preventing the pixels of your monitor from burning in, providing pretty animations and providing password protection. However, the default lock window used for password protection is bloody ugly.

The author of XScreenSaver has an explanation on why toolkits like GTK and QT are not used for the lock window and I’d agree with his points. However, why not have a built-in theme that is secure?

So what I’m providing here is a framework for creating built-in themes. (Note that themes are not run time changeable – only one can be included at any time.) The default theme is shown the above screenshot and other themes are available in the themes page. Creating a new theme requires some graphical talent (of which I have none) for the frame and logo and some programming experience if you wish to adjust the interior. Please feel free to submit themes and I will include them on the theme page.z

What’s New in This Release:

· Version 1.1 patches XScreenSaver 4.22 and perhaps newer versions. (One easily fixable hunk failure against 4.21.)

xlock(more) is more than just the modes, there are a few password mechanisms and public lab switches that can be chosen to be compiled in. I eagerly accept patches and improvements and ports for xlock, I would rather get a new interesting modes.

Many people have helped me maintain this over the years, most notably Jouk (Jacob) Jansen and Tom Schmidt. There are 100+ modes so I am sorry if I neglected to mention a personal favorite.

You don’t have to have OpenAL installed though, you just won’t get sound. Kanjisaver needs the Chineese fonts installed in order to function properly, so if you deselected those, pop in your Xandros cd and install them before installing it.

Other than that, the rest *should* work out of the box just fine. There are additional builds available, but this only gives me 12 spots. Simply right-click save the link for the package you want. Then Double click to install.
