https://github.com/FriederHannenheim/cthulock Hey everybody. I'm releasing my new screen locker for Wayland which you can easily customize using the Slint language. Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments.___

Looks like it makes rust easier based on a quick 30 second search

I was looking for a UI framework that could easily embedded into other applications. I'm doing all the communication with Wayland myself, then create an OpenGL context from the Wayland surface which Slint renders into. Also Slint has this language you can create UI's with, which I think is not too difficult for users to learn so anyone can customize their lock screen easily with it.

Would you mind providing any more details on what exactly one can customise? Might give this a shot tomorrow.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

Very interesting!
Will give this a shot soon, particularly after the mess that was customizing Swaylock

Interesting. I didn't realize Wayland was so extendible. I wonder if that means we can do a konfabulator clone.

This looks really cool, thanks for your effort here, @Katzenmann@programming.dev
