Hi! Thanks for reporting the issue. However I cannot reproduce it using your configuration and latest i3
(4.14-181-g458e2a2e
) and i3lock
(2.10-3-g6b53758
) versions. When I lock my screen and press Mod4, the bar remains hidden.
That's odd, i do not know how to get the same detailed version str, but running i3 --version
outputs i3 version 4.14.1 (2017-09-24) © 2009 Michael Stapelberg and contributors
and i3lock --version
outputs i3lock: version 2.10 (2017-11-25) © 2010 Michael Stapelberg
. Am running manjaro 17.1.3 i3 community edition
, and using blurlock as a screenlocker but tried recreating using just plain i3lock and the problem persists.
Can confirm, but the problem only persists if a compositor is running(in my case compton). Without compton pressing mod while i3lock is active will sometimes result in a very short flickering at the bottom of the screen. With compton active i3bar is shown full time while the mod key is pressed. Additionally, if the urgent hint for a workspace is set, the bar will also show full time.
Edit: I just noticed that notifications are also not hidden when compton is active. (Notification daemon: dunst)
I have the same issue, also just when running compton:
I also had a floating window pop up, while it was locked. That was shown, too.
This issue is tracked in https://github.com/i3/i3lock/issues/204
Related issues are ongoing and I tried some solutions like using unredir-if-possible
or disabling the compositor, but I still get this issue with the hidden i3bar.
I did not leave a message on the ongoing issues because I'm using forks but I wanted to leave my solution here for this specific usage.
I use i3wm with i3status-rust (i3bar), picom (compton fork) and betterlockscreen based on i3lock-color (i3lock fork).
bar mode toggle
.My solution is to use a script to run the lock, check the i3bar mode in the script and toggle it before/after the lock:
# check if the i3bar is currently visible
i3bar_mode=$(i3-msg -t get_tree | jaq '.. | objects | select(.class | contains("i3bar"))')
# if i3bar is hidden makes it visible
if [[ -z "$i3bar_mode" ]]; then
i3-msg -q bar mode toggle
fi
... run i3lock or any alternative here...
# hide i3bar when leaving lock
if [[ -z "$i3bar_mode" ]]; then
i3-msg -q bar mode toggle
fi
I use jaq
to parse the json in the above solution but jq works with the same args.
The bar is showing when locked and mod4 is pressed(which is set to display the bar). spesific config
bar { mode hide hidden_state hide modifier $mod }
Where $mod is Mod4. This is probably not a huge problem, but thought i'd mention it. Regards
