Default storm lockscreen wallpaper

How do I get a plazmix theme to allow me to choose my own lockscreen wallpaper from the blackberry pictures?

I can set my homescreen wallpaper to anything I want but even if I don't specify a lockscreen wallpaper in plazmic the default blue one appears on the device?

How do I create a storm theme that allows me to do this?

Thanks

unfortunately thats one of the drawbacks of theme builder at the moment, is that it can only be whats set in theme builder, not user customised

Default Lockscreen Mini Thematics

Well, it is not very controllable, but you CAN do a bit with the
little lock icon itself. In the enclosed PC-based shots (ie not
from the Storm itself) I show my meager efforts in which I
just placed a transparency in for the lock icon. Why can you
not try other larger images ?

Shoot, before I had PSE-7 with its transparency features, I
really had to horse around just to get this effect by jimmying
a little portion of the nascent Storm image into place just so.

hi there, i just had an idea, what about setting a transparent image as the background for the lockscreen, i presume that would then show the homescreen image?? i may have a look to see if this works

also docneutron you can have whatever images you want, just you need to make it in composer as an svg then place the svg in the lockscreen svg section in TB

i've tried the transparency idea. didn't work out. only showed the canvas of the svg file in composer...which is usually ugly (i like using a half-transparent canvas...makes the buttons easier to see)
