On GNOME a small GNOME extension draws the bubble. Turning face unlock on
switches it on; right after installing, log out and back in once.
On Hyprland and Niri the lock screen is a program of your choice, and only it
can open itself. So face-unlock goes into its password check, as with sudo:
press Enter on the empty password field to scan. hyprlock and swaylock also
scan by themselves when you come back, and so does gtklock after 4.0.0 (the
first to open from outside). Those lock screens cover the bubble, which shows
the tick once they are gone. gtklock shows face unlock's messages.
On Hyprland and Niri the lock screen is a program of your choice. When you
turn face unlock on, a window shows your screen both ways and asks which you
want: face-unlock's lock screen with your wallpaper, or yours, rebuilt from its
config. You can change it later under **Settings**.
For the bubble on the lock screen, use face-unlock's own: `face-unlock lock`.
It shows the wallpaper of your desktop (from swaybg, awww, hyprpaper or
wpaperd). Under **Settings** you can pick a picture instead, or a folder to take
one from at random, blurred if you like.

- **face-unlock's lock screen**, with the bubble, the time and the wallpaper of
your desktop (from swaybg, awww, hyprpaper or wpaperd). You lock with
`face-unlock lock`, and the menu shows where to put that. Under **Settings**
you can pick a picture instead, or a folder to take one from at random,
blurred if you like.
- **Keep your lock screen.** Only it can open itself, so face-unlock goes into
its password check, as with sudo: press Enter on the empty password field to
scan. hyprlock and swaylock also scan by themselves when you come back, and
so does gtklock after 4.0.0 (the first to open from outside). They cover the
bubble, but hyprlock shows what face unlock is doing as a line of text at the
top (face-unlock adds that line to your `hyprlock.conf`), and gtklock shows
its messages. swaylock and waylock have no way to show them.
Admin prompts and setting up a face need a polkit agent there (for example
hyprpolkitagent). Hyprland without uwsm does not start the part that watches
