"New" lock screen window

I don’t generally use XFCE, but as far as I’m aware a global theme of some kind can govern the appearance of most dialogs. A complete new theme could be applied using Kvantum.

If it’s the background you don’t like, there are tutorials showing how to change that.

Here’s one;

As you can see, the image can be changed via the LightDM Greeter settings – you can change the theme, the image itself, icons, font,user image – all from the Appearance tab.

MenuSettingsLightDM GTK GreeterAppearance (tab)

However, to maintain a constant look and feel, I’d guess the best option would be to make sure the Theme (“Matcha-sea” is the default) matches the theme selected globally.

MenuAppearanceStyle (tab)

It works just fine, when the screen is locked. :eyes:

However, it does need a little logic applied to the task beforehand:

1. Set Delay before capturing to an arbitrary duration long enough to proceed to lock the screen – say, 15 seconds …
2. Click “OK” → Lock the screen and wait for the delay to timeout (plus a few more seconds for good measure) …
3. Unlock the screen …

When returning to the desktop, the Screenshot dialog is presented, pending save options to be selected. Try it.
