I followed this guide: Install slimlock on CrunchBang 11 "Waldorf" - 64bit
I ended up skipping quite a few steps in his guide, since they're apparently no longer necessary.

Rough How-To:

1. Install Dependencies

sudo aptitude install build-essential fontconfig libxrandr-dev libimlib2-dev libxft-dev libpam0g-dev

2. Clone from the Git Repository

git clone https://github.com/joelburget/slimlock.git

3. Build the package

Change to the Slimlock directory, then build the package.

cd slimlock
make
sudo make install

4. Test it out!

Simply run:

slimlock

and Voila!

5. Install xautolock and set it up to Autostart and work with Slimlock

 
sudo aptitude install xautolock

I added the following line to my Autostart script from the Preferences menu, but I haven't had a ton of time to really test it or play with it. Someone else might chime in with a better setup.

xautostart -time [timeout in minutes] -locker slimlock &

Hope that helps.

Btw, the files that handle your theme is here "/usr/share/slim/themes/waldorf"

Like the title says, I'm looking for some inspiration on my new Slimlock setup.
Searched around and couldn't find any threads showing off configs.

Anyone out there rocking custom background.jpg's?

Thanks in advance guys!
