+## Description
+##
+## This is a wrapper script for i3lock that selects an image to be used as the background
+
+## This assumes you have archlinux with the package "archlinux-wallpaper" installed
+## If not, the variable WPDIR (wallpaper directory)can just be changed to something else
+
+WPDIR=/usr/share/backgrounds/archlinux
+
+## i3lock, to my knowledge, does not automatically resize the image to fit with your screen
+## so it's necessary to do some work on these images if you want a nice lock screen that
+## isn't cropped weirdly or anything like that.
+
+## imagemagick's resize accepts screen resolutions in the format 1200x800
+
+SCRSIZE=$(xrandr | grep "current" | awk '{print $8"x"$10}' | sed s/,//g)
+
+## Because the files in WPDIR are owned by root, you won't be able to overwrite them so
+## you need to set a destination file. This assumes you have .local/tmp but this can be
+## wherever you want
+
+LOCKIMG=$HOME/.local/tmp/lockimg.png
+
+## I like to choose randomly from the .png images in the arch wallpaper directories
+## for lock screen images. I tend to use the .jpg files for desktop wallpapers
+
+ORIGIMG=$(ls $WPDIR/*.png | shuf -n 1)
+
+## You can use imagemagick to make a resized copy of the wallpaper to $LOCKIMG
+
+convert $ORIGIMG -resize $SCRSIZE\! $LOCKIMG
+
+## now use i3lock or whatever screen locking program you choose
+
+i3lock -i $LOCKIMG
