Does MoLock drain the battery or use a lot of CPU?

No. MoLock is lightweight while it runs in the background, and animated themes run only while the screen is locked. Recent releases made the themes considerably lighter on the processor. To save more, choose the Light effect level in Settings → Appearance; MoLock also offers adjustable performance modes and a reduced-motion option, and you can choose a calmer theme or turn the screen off while locked.

Which lock-screen effect level should I choose (Light, Medium, Heavy)?

Leave it on Auto and MoLock picks the right level for your PC. To choose yourself in Settings → Appearance: Heavy is recommended for PCs with a dedicated graphics card, Light suits older or modest PCs, and Medium sits in between. The level never affects protection, only how rich the motion is and how much work it takes.

I have several monitors. Does MoLock cover all of them?

Yes. The lock screen covers every connected monitor.

Can I change how the lock screen looks?

Yes. MoLock includes 35 animated themes (among them MoLock Signature, hacker, Matrix and Sakura), more than 33 widgets, and backgrounds from your blurred desktop, an image (animated GIFs included), a video or a slideshow. In 2.6 the themes and customisable widgets were redesigned in the new "Graphite & Amber" look. Explore the themes.

Auto-lock interrupts my movies and games

Turn on "pause on full-screen apps", or pause auto-lock from the tray or with /pause 2h in Telegram for anywhere from 5 minutes to 7 days. Auto-lock resumes on its own.

Why are evidence photos not being captured?

In most cases Windows is blocking apps from the camera or microphone. Open Windows privacy settings and allow camera and microphone access for desktop apps. If the camera is in use by another app, MoLock falls back to silent video or audio only.
