Feature request: Show countdown for the lock-delay in the screensaver

[davidhedlund]

Expected behaviour

When the screensaver starts, it would be useful to place a countdown timer in the center:

• 0 seconds: "The lock screen will be activated in: 00:00:60"
• 1 seconds later: "The lock screen will be activated in: 00:00:59"
• 2 seconds later: "The lock screen will be activated in: 00:00:58"

Actual behaviour

When the screensaver starts, there's lock-delay indication. People often assume that the screensaver will activate the lock screen automatically.

@zhuyaliang Did someone implement this? If so, what is the link to the PR?

[zhuyaliang]

This issue has not been fixed yet, and I haven't figured out whether to add a countdown function. I just think this 288 is a duplicate report

I merged this issue to #288
