xfce4-screensaver lockscreen wallpaper

I apologize if this has been addressed. I did some searching and could not find the answer.

Opensuse 15.4, XFCE 4.16

I have xfce4-screensaver installed. when the screen locks the background/wallpaper is the wallpaper from my first workspace. Can anyone tell me or point to docs on how to use a different image for the lockscreen background/wallpaper?

Thanks

It's not currently possible. See this existing enhancement request.

Thank your the info.
Is it possible to use xfce4-screen saver to blank the screen and then dm-tool lock the screen?

Possibly. In xfce4-screensaver's settings, uncheck the "Enable Lock Screen" option. You may have to make some change to dm-tool as well so that it doesn't do the screen blanking, but I am unfamiliar with that package.
