Lockscreen written in Rust
Not sure if you've seen xidlehook but it works well and is also written rust. I see it hasn't been updated in a while, maybe it can inspire you.

Dim brightness before sleep with DPMS
Could likely use https://github.com/jD91mZM2/xidlehook to dim it just before suspend, then watch xprintidle until it goes below 1000 to show that you're active again, and bring the brightness up

Drawing the Z-order curve - page spread from an open source reference book about bitmap graphics I'm making
Thank you. I'm an electrical and computer engineer and I like doing small projects like this all the time. This particular one was inspired by reimplementing an 90s clock desktop widget that shows you a cat clock https://crates.io/crates/kitkat (this utility is popular among some alternative operating systems enthusiasts).
