Lock screen personalization

I was hoping to set my lock screen to the image in the following link in a way so that as you typed it would fill in password area or something to that nature. Is there any way to adjust any visual settings (other than the picture displayed) about the lock screen?

I'm not sure exactly what you wish to do but, no, there is nothing that can be done with the lock screen other than setting the picture displayed.

HP laptop won't let me change lock screen or account picture

I went to change my pictures for the lock screen and the account and everytime I try to change it, it gives me a message saying "Account/Lock screen picture error. Setting the account/lock screen failed. Please try again." I'll try to put the default pictures just to see if that would work and no matter what I do, it will not change. It's so aggravating. What can I do?

Hi,
Thank you for providing the above information.
To ensure the fault behind the error is not with Windows, I'd recommend doing a system refresh to start. Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).
And just as reference when trying to set the lock/account screen afterwards, here are two Microsoft documents:
See pictures on the desktop, Start, and the lock screen
Personalize your PC
I hope this helps, let me know how it goes.
Thanks.

Restore Lock Screen in Windows 8.1

I deleted the lock screen in Windows 8.1 and now realize I need it. How can I get it back?
I deleted using Windows+R "regedit" using this link
http://media.askvg.com/downloads/2012/11/Disable-Windows-8-Lock-Screen.zip
Is there a way to get the lock screen back?

Hi，
The registry you posted here are this
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization]
"NoLockScreen"=dword:00000001
so you just need to launch regedit editor by run regedit.exe, then locate to the right place, set the value back to 0, then restart your PC.
or just run the "restore....reg" as David mentioned.

Custom lock screen GPO not working for domain users

I have a WS2012 standard server with W8 Pro clients. I'm trying to force the lock screen to a .jpg however it's not working, it leaves the users with just a standard blueish screen.

For the issue, the current user account picture (tile image) is stored in the hidden folder below.

The recent user account pictures used for your account are stored in the hidden folder below.
C:\Users\(user-name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures
The default user account picture images are in the hidden system folder below.

I suggest you select a new picture to update your account picture.
1.On your Start screen, click on your user tile at the top right corner, click on Change account picture.
2.On the Personalize, then click "Browse" to select a new picture.

How to get back default Lock Screen Image of Windows 8.1

I recently upgraded windows 8 to Windows 8.1, but it reset my custom lock screen image . I tried for default lock screen of windows 8.1.I can't find any default lock screen
images of windows 8.1 (Only custom images are available). How to get default lock screen images? Does any any one know? please help me..

The last "solution" works only for pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete and clicking
Lock. If you sign out of Windows and sign back in, that ghastly Windows 8.1 lock screen picture will come back.
You can delete the img100.png file from your WinSxS folder: right lick on this file, click Properties, click the Security tab, click Edit, click Add, type your Windows user name in the white rectangle under "Enter the object
name to select", click Check Names, click OK, then click Advanced, click Change, take ownership of the file, give yourself Full control over this file, click Apply and then OK. You may see your name three times in the Security tab (as user, administrator,
and yourself). Make sure that each instance has full Control
If this does not work, you can disable the Lock Screen: press Windows+R, type
gpedit.msc, click OK, in the Local Group Policy Editor window that opens click on Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Personalization, right click on the "Do not display the lock screen" option, click
Edit, check Enabled, then click Apply and OK.
This, however, is a workaround rather than a real solution, which, it seems, Microsoft does not have.
I have exactly the same issue with the horrid stripey thing. Furthermore, in Settings, Lock Screen Preview is completely blank both on current and past images.
I've tried all the tips I've found around the web with no success. I get the horrid stripey thing back.
I found this freeware called Lock Screen Customizer. Seems to work so far but time will tell. (Note that the download includes both win8 and win8.1 versions.)

Scaling lock screen image

I am having a problem with my lock screen image after upgrading to IOS 7. I liek to have emergency contact info displayed. I have used a couple of different ICE programs that create an image int he camera roll that can then be set as the lock screen image. WHile I am selecting the image under Settings -> Wallpapers & Brightness, it says "Move and Scale". I can move or pinch operatiosn but as soon as I take my finger off, the iamge springs back to the original. The result is that some of the text is cut off at the edge of the display.
I have also looked at the iamges under the Photos app. When I jsut view the iage, I get the same left edge cutoff. But when I go into Edit mode, I see all the text.

You may try Group Policy Editor to prevent this.
Press Win+X Keys to launch Run menu.
Type in gpedit.msc in the blank space of Run menu and hit the Enter key.
Now expand Administrative Tools > Control Panel > Personalization > Prevent changing lock screen image.
Prevents users from changing the background image shown when the machine is locked.
By default, users can change the background image shown when the machine is locked.
If you enable this setting, the user will not be able to change their lock screen image, and they will instead see the default image.

Lock screen pictures

Hi,
I recently downloading the new IOS7 Software on my Iphone 4S and now i cannot fit pictures onto my home /lock screen, they zoom in too far to fit the screen is there a way i make them fit?
Thanks

To verify, the personalize option is hidden or is it greyed out and unclickable? Are you able to make it to the screen where you can select the desired backgrounds?
It sounds similar to the issue in the following thread.

Windows lock screen lost after restart

I have a PC that's running Windows 8.1.
The lock screen picture applies ok for when the PC is locked, however if the PC is restarted the lock screen changes back to another image.
Any ideas out there?

Is this system in domain ?
The new group policy is named “Force
a specific default lock screen image” and can be found in this path in the group policy editor: “Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative
Templates\Control Panel\Personalization”
Is this configured?

Lock Screen Custom Image Stuck on Load for Windows 8.1

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1, but it reset my custom lock screen image. I tried re-applying it but the lock screen preview in the settings is stuck on a load loop. Does anyone know why that is and why it won't set my custom image as the
new lock screen image?

Hi all,
I've experienced the same issue and it disappeared after doing some weird steps.
First about the problem:
I have Surface Pro tablet, updated to Windows 8.1 many months ago. However yesterday this issue happened for the first time (not sure what triggered it) and continued today as well, even after restarting:
- Charms bar > Settings > Personalize. Click on background color or Accent color palette to try to change color: the pane and Start menu behind freezes and doesn't react on anything except for pressing Windows button on tablet, that throws back to
desktop. But when you return to that menu it appears the color has been changed after all (as much as could have been done in one click before it froze).
- Can't change lock screen: I didn't move the image selected there and previous images, they are still located at the same folder. But after selecting an image loading wheel spins and image never updates.
Fix:
After reading here that this replicates with account picture for some people, I wanted to check this on my tablet as well. My account picture shown the current image and 2 previous images to the right. When clicking first of those, nothing changed. When
clicking on the second one it shown the image from the first selected as account picture, and vice versa - when clicking on the first again it shown the second pic selected as account picture. After browsing and selecting other image, it didn't update in account
picture, but after going out from the menu and back again it appeared that the account image updated after all.
After that all started working normal again - can select account picture, change lock screen and personalize without problems. Weird, but it worked.

Lock screen wallpaper problem

Hello,
I've got a problem with setting lock screen wallpaper.
Every time I go to settings --> personalize --> lock screen wallpaper and click on it, choose Xperia wallpaper or any other from the album, then it allows me to "cut" it, and as only I am trying to save it it shows me the message "unable to set wallpaper"
Any ideas?
Tried to restart the phone but still I've got this issue, very annoying.

No matter with or without the pattern as I only try to cut the picture and set it as wallpaper the result is always the same, you can see it on the screen below:
It says: "It is not possible to set wallpaper"

HT1384 My lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch is broken, and I need some assistance.

As the title suggests, I can not use the lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch, it is broken. I can use Adaptive Touch to turn the screen on and off at will, and also turn my device off. But if I turn it off, I don't know how to get it to turn back on. Could I just plug it into a charger and turn it back on, or would I need to plug it into my computer? Please help, in a few days I won't have access to it for 9 weeks, I need immediate help.

If you power off the iPod, it will turn back on if you connect it to a charger like a wall charger or a computer. I just checked with a charging source to confirm. I knew it did it with a computer.

Hi theora,
If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPhone help the issue?

Lock Screen in Solaris 10

hello,
I have installed solaris 10 on intel machine.I can lock the screen if loged in as root,but if I login as non-root there is no option to lock the screen.What should I need to set to lock screen with non root user?
regards,
tanveer

You could try running kdmconfig again and selecting
an xfree86 driver from the bottom of the list for the
display card No it doesn't, when the X server used is Xorg (which is the default
with Solaris 10 b69 x86). Xorg ignores whatever you configure with
kdmconfig.

My lock screen keeps freezing ios 7.1

Hi guys,
I want to know if I am alone in this issue or if it is widespread?
Since updating my iphone 5 to ios 7.1 my lock screen freezes. Not all the time, mainly if there is a notification of a text etc. I have to turn the phone off and on and it sorts it but it shouldn't be happening surely?
Am I alone in this? My touchscreen was fine until after the update.

Have you tried restarting the phone or reset all settings?
