And then choose the Sleep option which blanks the screen and locks immediately. Works great. Gives you options to restart and shut down as well. Custom skins on that same thread as well.
Ah, that's perfect. I've tried various things, some even worked but a little glitchy - like the screen would start to change and you'd catch a glimpse of that before it blanked out, etc ...

I kept thinking of the Poket Plus Today plugin that had that Screen Toggle buttton that blanked the screen.
That xdashutdown does exactly that - instant and clean screen shutdown. And that also locks the phone too, of course.

You simply create a lnk to the xdashutdown.exe, but you need to edit it and add the -lightsout option, like so:
45#"\Program files\xdaShutdown\xdaShutdown.exe" -lightsout

Nice
