Lockscreen Wallpaper

No matter what I change my desktop wallpaper to, my lockscreen wallpaper doesn't change. I have tried going to the Desktop Pictures folder in Library/Caches but each time, the lockscreen.png file automatically updated the image on it's own. It's just not what is actually being displayed on the lockscreen wallpaper. I have tried using apple wallpapers and custom photos but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Please help.


also the device listed underneath is wrong, it should be macbook pro.

MacBook Air 13″

You can make the boot screen match your logged in User account wallpaper yes...


  • if you are the only user
  • if FileVault is OFF
  • Guest user OFF
  • Automatic log-in OFF
  • Display shows—> List of user in Ventura >System Settings>Lock Screen>List of user


under these conditions boot up screen will match your logged in desktop wallpaper
