Wallpaper is installed by moonarch to /usr/share/moonarch/wallpaper.jpg. Embedding a 374K JPEG in the binary was redundant. Without a wallpaper file, GTK background color (Catppuccin Mocha base) shows through.
Moonlock
A secure Wayland lockscreen with GTK4, PAM authentication and fingerprint support. Part of the Moonarch ecosystem.
Features
- ext-session-lock-v1 — Protocol-guaranteed screen locking (compositor keeps screen locked on crash)
- PAM authentication — Uses system PAM stack (
/etc/pam.d/moonlock) - Fingerprint unlock — fprintd D-Bus integration, async init (optional, window appears instantly)
- Multi-monitor — Lockscreen on every monitor, single shared fingerprint listener
- i18n — German and English (auto-detected)
- Faillock warning — UI counter + system pam_faillock
- Panic safety — Panic hook logs but never unlocks
- Password wiping — Zeroize on drop
Requirements
- GTK 4
- gtk4-session-lock (ext-session-lock-v1 support)
- PAM (
/etc/pam.d/moonlock) - Optional: fprintd for fingerprint support
