.SH DESCRIPTION
.B i3lock

+entering your passwords.
-.SH DIFFERENCES TO SLOCK
+.SH IMPROVEMENTS
-.B i3lock
-improves slock by making it fork() and therefore combinable with
-commands to suspend your computer. Additionally, instead of turning off
-your screen via DPMS and/or displaying a black screen,
-.B i3lock
-displays a white (or colored in your favorite color) screen so you can see
-if your computer failed to resume from suspend or if your screen is just
-locked. Since version 1.1,
-.B i3lock
-can display images in XPM file format. Also, when entering a wrong password,
-.B i3lock
-does not call XBell(). This is important because
-.B i3lock/slock
-think you've entered a password when resuming from suspend, at least sometimes.
+.TP
+* i3lock forks, so you can combine it with an alias to suspend to RAM (run "i3lock && echo mem > /sys/power/state" to get a locked screen after waking up your computer from suspend to RAM)
+
+.TP
+* You can either a background color or a PNG image which will be displayed while your screen is locked.
+
+.TP
+* You can specify whether i3lock should bell upon a wrong password.
+
+.TP
+* i3lock uses PAM and therefore is compatible with LDAP etc.
-Since version 1.0, i3lock supports PAM.
