Idle & Lock screen configuration in nwg-shell
The latest nwg-shell-config update brings a new tab, to configure idle and lock screen settings. Under the hood, it provides the nwg-lock command, which is a wrapper around gtklock or swaylock. It adds a random image background, either local, or downloaded from https://unsplash.com. You may also display an overlay window to control mpris media player with playerctl.
You can still adjust gtklock to your liking, by defining your own config and css. See https://github.com/jovanlanik/gtklock/wiki

gtklock and nwg-wrapper - let's rice the lock!
I had a play with gtklock today and wondered if it would work with nwg-wrapper to enhance the lock screen. It turns out that they work together very well - see screenshot. I've also modified my script for various styles of locking so that it supports gtklock: mylock

gktlock: GTK-based lockscreen for Wayland
I wrote gtklock to compliment gtkgreet. It uses the wlr-layer-shell and wlr-input-inhibitor Wayland protocols, works on sway and other wlroots compositors.

Using nwg-wrapper for a HUD of help for sway modes
Usage: sway-mode [-c,--config config-file] [-C,--css css-file] mode Puts sway into mode 'mode' and displays some help by extracting a section from the config file. Options: -c,--config config_file location of your config file (/home/bhepple/.config/sway/config) -C,--css css_file location of your css file (/home/bhepple/.config/nwg-wrapper/mode-help.css) Requires nwg-wrapper https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-wrapper Assumes modes are defined in the config file like this: mode "foobar" { ... } To use this, reassign the bindkey command for the mode like this: bindsym $mod+s exec sway-mode "swap" and in the mode definition, change the mode ending keys to # back to default mode bindsym q exec pkill nwg-wrapper; mode "default" bindsym Return exec pkill nwg-wrapper; mode "default" bindsym Escape exec pkill nwg-wrapper; mode "default" Here's a sample CSS file: window { font-family: "Monospace"; color: rgba (255, 255, 255, 1.0); background-color: rgba (255, 255, 255, 0.1); } #box-inner { background-color: rgba (23, 53, 63, 0.7); border-radius: 5px; border-style: dotted; border-width: 1px; border-color: rgba (156, 142, 122, 0.7); padding: 10px; }

Digital overlay clock?
Here's a script that uses nwg-wrapper to display a countdown - it would be easy to modify it to display a digital clock.
Take a look at https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-wrapper
-
Counting down before gtklock or suspend
The countdown into gtklock is created by my script sway-count which uses nwg-wrapper.
-
is a good practice to put ANY idea on github?
Nope. https://github.com/nwg-piotr/nwg-wrapper/commit/f4c4dc6e9a568ade8b3bce02d73f528a50b02928
-
Any tip on optimizing this?
Here's my script. It forks off a playerctl --follow with a custom format to work around read skipping empty items (like a song without an artist). You don't have to do that, I just prefer that so I can add nwg-wrapper to view album art and song title on my desktop without spinning up another playerctl read loop.
- Is there some app that lets you launch a simple text overlay?

Show local IP permanent on desktop
If your compositor supports layer-shell (i.e., not Gnome) then maybe nwg-wrapper would work.
