Keep running on lockscreen
Most recent discussion I can find on this is at least 2 years old so thought I'd ask again. I run multiple monitors, 2 at work, 4 at home...Is it possible to keep the wallpapers displayed on my locked screens? I know at work we have the lock screens customized with our company logos, so there's some customizability there...just not sure if it's enough to handle this.

Thanks.

The lock screen is a protected area of Windows which cannot be modified without hacking Windows. This serves system security as applications should not be able to add malicious content to the login window. For this reason, Wallpaper Engine cannot add wallpapers to the lock screen and we cannot add this feature in the future either.

Wallpaper Engine currently only works on desktop and not on the Windows lock screen.

Well, while I understand how certain restrictions are needed, and that Microsoft is probably blocking certain features from working on the lockscreen, I also don't like to believe that things will always be impossible. ;-)

Thanks for the response.
