Does anyone know whether it would it be possible to trick i3lock (or something similar) into showing the output of this "tool" instead of a static image? Would be a fun look, with the added bonus of some colleagues potentially being tricked into thinking they have an opportunity to mess with my machine. :D

There are screen-locking programs that don't hide what's on the screen (for example `alock` and `xtrlock`). So you can use one of those in a script that also launches this tool.
