Possibility to support touchscreen?

[lVentus]

Because now we can't wake onScreenKeyboard, when using hyprlock without keyboard, we can't unlock it. Any possibility to use OSK in hyprlock, or provide a 9 dots method like in phone, which allow us to draw some lines as password to login?

9 dots method would work without any work from the hl side. Technically, no protocol as of right now allows for an OSK over a lockscreen, unless the lockscreen itself provides an osk.

Sorry, I didn't understand. How can I implement a 9 dots? as widgets?

[vaxerski]

I meant without any code needing to change in hyprland. You'd still need to write the code in hyprlock for the 9 dots.

I noticed this from the wayland protocol website for ext_session_lock_v1

The only surfaces that should be rendered while the session is locked are the lock surfaces created through this interface and optionally, at the compositor's discretion, special privileged surfaces such as input methods or portions of desktop shell UIs.

Also from here, looks like layer-shell surfaces can be drawn above the lockscreen surface.

I do know that my current setup involves hyprland starting with exec-once = hyprlock. I also have a script that hyprctl plugins load the hyprbar library, which results in a "plugin loaded successfully!" popup on the top right. This script also exec-onces, so what happens is the popup is drawn above the hyprlock surface, with the full animation (my current hyprlock surface is a solid black screen, that's another issue). Would something like squeakboard be able to draw itself on top? Not sure how surfaces work in ext_session_lock but just wanted to bounce some thoughts?

Sounds like something that must be configured via hyprland instead,right? Since it is dependent on the privilege granted by the wayland compositor (ie hyprland)

hyprland doesn't allow anything to render over the lock. That's our current "compositor policy"
