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.
Comment 2 Aleix Pol 2022-09-19 22:28:03 UTC
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! :)
