Change lockscreen wallpaper on Xfce Kali Linux

After a lot of failures while searching for a solution in the net I am setting this again, this time for Kali 2020.1 release.

I have tried:

Changing the images path referred in
```
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-lockscreen.xml 
```
to the desired. There wasn't any change after rebooting.

Any ideas?

You may have changed it by now but I'm answering this in case someone else may need it.

Option 1 - Terminal

Under /usr/share/desktop-base/kali-theme/login/ is a symbolic link named background. Update it with your desired image path.

Sample Command:
sudo ln -s <image_path> /usr/share/desktop-base/kali-theme/login/background

Option 2 - GUI

Reboot to take effect.
