Opening as draft to discuss possible security concerns previously mentioned by @ericonr (https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/26392#issuecomment-883685280, https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/27971#pullrequestreview-570102279). This version is a fork of the now unmaintained original. The maintainer is active, and the current version of jirutka/swaylock-effects is behind swaywm/swaylock by 23 commits. Happy to discuss :)
Also, regarding the template, I'm not sure if it's preferred to have conflicts or replaces? I've gone for the former because the latter would require changing the swaylock template too.
This is a fork of a fork of swaylock. What benefits would this confer, and why chooose this particular fork?

The changes are aesthetic with subjectively 'nicer' screenlocking, so I think I'd be hard pressed to say truthfully there are any benefits, per-se.
As for why this fork, unlike the repo it is forked from (from which people have made the previous PRs), it's being maintained and developed (albeit slowly).

My 5 cents: I think @ericonr 's comment from the closed PR is still valid and personally I concur with @ahesford (there are no benefits, imho)

That's fair: I hadn't seen that issue. I'll close this PR.
