Set Wallpaper, but ignore lock screen #19

Thanks for the tool, it works great. My only issue currently is that I want to set the wallpaper on user's computers and not the lock screen. When I install the package locally or pushed from a Jamf Policy, it sets the wallpaper and the lock screen. Just wondering if there's a preference key or something that I might have missed when I packaged it so that it leaves the lock screen untouched.

This is a function of macOS. When a user is logged in, the Lock Screen will reflect the current user's wallpaper. (When no users are logged in, Apple's default wallpaper will apply; you can't control that either.) Desktoppr can't change that.
