[BUG] Hyprlock Displays Desktop

[jigypeper]

Describe the bug I don’t know if this happens to anyone else, but for me, if I close my laptop lid and open it up, hyperlock doesnt seem to engage for like half a second, I get to see the desktop and what was running before entering the password to actually unlock the screen. 🤔

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Close the laptop lid
2. Open the laptop lid
3. Hyprlock will engage but only after you get a glimpse of the desktop

Expected behavior Hyprlock should engage immediately, if someone else opens the laptop, they should not have a glimpse at whatever was running prior to you closing the lid.

Screenshots N/A

Distribution (please complete the following information):

• EndeavourOS

Additional context This is running on a 2013 MacBook Air (pretty old machine, but Arch has brought it back to life).

Any idea what i need to suspend? I've got: custom.conf: bindl=,switch:Lid Switch, exec, hyprlock hypridle.conf: general { lock_cmd = pidof hyprlock || hyprlock # avoid starting multiple hyprlock instances. before_sleep_cmd = hyprlock # lock before suspend. after_sleep_cmd = hyprctl dispatch dpms on # to avoid having to press a key twice to turn on the display. }

I have simmilar issue, I found a pretty simple solution, but I don't know how to change the action that is performed when closing the laptop lid. Here is a small script to run instead of systemctl suspend, so that hyprlock can open before going to sleep.

#!/bin/bash loginctl lock-session sleep 3 systemctl suspend Ml4W please reply where I can change the action when closing the lid.

Or how to add delay between before_sleep_cmd and suspend in hyprlidle, beacuse laptop instntly going to sleep and hyptlock dont have time to apper.
