#12 Prelock notification
A notification should show up with a note when the locking occurs (new config value: prewarn time) It should be possible to ignore this absence. It should not be possible to deactivate it from that message since that would lead to a possible loss of security.
While the message would also a quick attacker to stay safe this time, the user would just click 'deacticate' and forget that it won't lock again automatically. It really should just ignore the actual absence and reactivate once the device comes back in sight.

If .png would support animated graphics I would suggest using a blinking icon for the yellow key. This is a very unintrusive setup (no popups and so) One may think about changing the click action to something like this:
you are here - green - left click = settings
you are almost away - yellow blinking - left click = don't lock the next n secs
you are away - red - cannot be seen usually because screen is locked but now it might be the "don't lock n secs setting letting us see the red key)
you are about n secs away - red blinking - left click = don't lock the next n secs
That seems like an alarm clock reacting to the distance instead of time. Afterwards it activates the "snooze" mode which is shown by a blinking icon. A left click on the blinking icon would activate snooze for n secs, n being setup in the settings dialog.
