Hi,

I'm trying to customize login image and lock image to put the same corporative image.

I read more discussions about login image and actually I changed it by overwriting this file:

/Library/Caches/com.apple.desktop.admin.png

Now i want to change lock screen to set the same picture. It seems that this image is the current user wallpaper with a blur effect, isn't? How can i change this picture without changing current wallpaper?

thanks and regards

What OS are you running? That location(/Library/Caches) should change your Login & lock screen wallpaper. However, with OS Sierra that no longer works as it has in previous OS's...

@justdewon Yes, i'm using Sierra.

@bentoms i just tried your workaround with no luck. (i think that you have a mistake with your version and was for 10.12 not for 10.2 :) ) I can change only login window but not the lock one. It's strange.
