Utility Lock
Utility Lock
Utility Lock is a custom built Screen Locking mechanism, it was designed after the Apple lock that is available in Apple Remote Desktop, its purpose is to allow for a greater customization in how the screen is locked, you can now have it locked on Sleep/Idle/Intervals and with the applescript support you can combine it with other applications like WiFiScriptor
Installation
To install simply drag "SleepLock" to the "Applications" folder, From here launch "SleepLock"
How To Use
Utility Lock was designed to be simple to use but effective, you will notice it is all straight forward but just for the fun heres the guide...
When you open Utility Lock you will be presented with a dialog asking if you would like to receive updates, along with a password field. Be sure to set the password as the locks will not work with out it.
After you have finished with those dialogs, notice a small black lock appear in you top right menu bar, click on this and you will be presented with a small menu.
All the locks are located in the "Locks" submenu and all the other preferences and options are in the main menu of the icon.
Hot Keys?
Yes we did include a hotkey, it is Command + L
Scripting?
It is now possible to enable the lock from a AppleScript, to do so below is the command:
tell application "Utility Lock" to lockscreen
Hidden Features?
There is quite a few hidden preferences heres a list of them:
• disableStatusItem (1 = do not show status icon / 0 = do show )
• disableFadeEffects (1 = dont fade out / 0 = fade out )
• primaryScreenOnly ( 1 = do not black other screens out / 0 = black all screens out and disable mouse )
You can also edit the text you see through out the whole application by editing the screenLock.strings file and the appController.strings file
