# Ly supports 24-bit true color with styling, which means each color is a 32-bit value. # The format is 0xSSRRGGBB, where SS is the styling, RR is red, GG is green, and BB is blue. # Here are the possible styling options: # TB_BOLD 0x01000000 # TB_UNDERLINE 0x02000000 # TB_REVERSE 0x04000000 # TB_ITALIC 0x08000000 # TB_BLINK 0x10000000 # TB_HI_BLACK 0x20000000 # TB_BRIGHT 0x40000000 # TB_DIM 0x80000000 # Programmatically, you'd apply them using the bitwise OR operator (|), but because Ly's # configuration doesn't support using it, you have to manually compute the color value. # Note that, if you want to use the default color value of the terminal, you can use the # special value 0x00000000. This means that, if you want to use black, you *must* use # the styling option TB_HI_BLACK (the RGB values are ignored when using this option). # Allow empty password or not when authenticating allow_empty_password = true # The active animation # none -> Nothing # doom -> PSX DOOM fire # matrix -> CMatrix # colormix -> Color mixing shader # gameoflife -> John Conway's Game of Life animation = none # Stop the animation after some time # 0 -> Run forever # 1..2e12 -> Stop the animation after this many seconds animation_timeout_sec = 0 # The character used to mask the password # You can either type it directly as a UTF-8 character (like *), or use a UTF-32 # codepoint (for example 0x2022 for a bullet point) # If null, the password will be hidden # Note: you can use a # by escaping it like so: \# asterisk = * # The number of failed authentications before a special animation is played... ;) auth_fails = 10 # Background color id bg = 0x00000000 # Change the state and language of the big clock # none -> Disabled (default) # en -> English # fa -> Farsi bigclock = none # Set bigclock to 12-hour notation. bigclock_12hr = false # Set bigclock to show the seconds. bigclock_seconds = false # Blank main box background # Setting to false will make it transparent blank_box = true # Border foreground color id border_fg = 0x00FFFFFF # Title to show at the top of the main box # If set to null, none will be shown box_title = null # Brightness decrease command brightness_down_cmd = $PREFIX_DIRECTORY/bin/brightnessctl -q s 10%- # Brightness decrease key, or null to disable brightness_down_key = F5 # Brightness increase command brightness_up_cmd = $PREFIX_DIRECTORY/bin/brightnessctl -q s +10% # Brightness increase key, or null to disable brightness_up_key = F6 # Erase password input on failure clear_password = false # Format string for clock in top right corner (see strftime specification).
