Automatically shuts down the monitor after a configurable amount of seconds #87

Enhancement

As i3lock now keeps monitor on. Will it be possible to automatically shuts down the monitor after a configurable amount of seconds.
The monitor will automatically be activated by pressing a key or moving the mouse and the password can be entered then.

What do you mean by i3lock now keeps monitor on ? For me it doesn't do that. Btw, this is a X's setting (called DPMS), not i3lock's.

You can see if it's activated or not with xset q, at the bottom. Mine looks like:

DPMS (Energy Star):
  Standby: 600    Suspend: 600    Off: 600
  DPMS is Enabled
  Monitor is On

So the display will turn off after 600 seconds (10 minutes).

i3lock doesn't keep my monitor on. Check your DPMS/X settings, as @bew mentioned.

Yeah that fixed it. Thanks.
I should have researched a little before opening a issue.
