How Ito integrated the logout menu wlogout and the lockscreen swaylock into my Hyprland configuration. Plus automate the start of swaylock with swayidle.

Wlogout is a customizable logout menu for wayland environments, for example Hyprland.
Wlogout can be easily styled through a style.css file, a cascading stylesheet definition where you can change a lot of parameters and integrate the logout menus graphically very well into your window manager.

swaylock is a screen locking utility for Wayland compositors. It is compatible with any Wayland compositor which implements the ext-session-lock-v1 Wayland protocol. Means it will work on Hyprland.

We will install swaylock-effects, a fork of the original swaylock which adds built-in screenshots and image manipulation effects like blurring.

And in addition we will use swayidle, the idle management daemon for any Wayland compositor. With swayidle we can start swaylock automatically and lock the screen after a few minutes if the mouse or keyboard has not been used. Important for security reasons and in combination with monitor standby a valuable power saver.
