If we were to implement all these little things, i3lock would explode with complexity. It is far easier (in the big picture) to use GIMP or any other image manipulation tool to create an image which suits your screen resolution and just use that.Tue, 05 Jun 2012 06:16:58 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/33/how-can-i-specify-the-image-position-in-i3lock/?answer=34#post-id-34Comment by oberon for <p>You can’t.

My dual monitor setup doesn't play well with images that match their native resolution.Fri, 31 May 2013 08:23:10 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/33/how-can-i-specify-the-image-position-in-i3lock/?answer=1929#post-id-1929Comment by joepd for <p>In fact Michael I don't believe that is enough to address image position.
