Hi,

could you please add the ability to set the locked screen background per each display?

The same is possible with wallpapers already.

Yeah, I'd like this too.

Note this would require a complex configuration dialog to decide how they're all chosen. We need to come up with a good design for the screen locker kcm for this.

I don't think we should do this. It would introduce a huge amount of complexity for little to no gain. I think we should in fact go the other direction and only show the lock screen's current UI on the primary screen; all others would see either a black screen or maybe that screen's blurred wallpaper. That would direct the user's focus better and not require a bunch of new config UI.

So as we can see, my opinion has changed over the past three and a half years! :)
