Any update on this?
Hello! I wouldn't be surprised that i3lock
doesn't support /dev/stdin
fd. I suppose the workaround of storing convert
result to a temporary file works?
convert /tmp/i3lock.png -blur 10 - > /tmp/i3lock_blurred.png
i3lock -i /tmp/i3lock_blurred.png

Another working method:
i3lock -i /dev/stdin < <(cat ~/Pictures/GIMP_Pepper.png)
