You're welcome, I'm not that good in english too
Each theme has these backgrounds (separate images):
- desktop wallpapers (there's four of these)
- wallpaper for clock
- wallpaper for lockscreen
- wallpaper for application manager

With Pleego I have used the same "Meego people" background for all of those, but they still are all separate images and chaning one won't change the others. If you change the homescreen wallpaper, it won't change images for the rest of the things mentioned earler.
OK, now I understand.
If you wan't to change those backgrounds, you need to manually overwrite these images with your own:
/opt/plastic-schemes/SCHEMENAME/backgrounds/clock.png
/opt/plastic-schemes/SCHEMENAME/backgrounds/lockslider.png
/opt/plastic-schemes/SCHEMENAME/backgrounds/applicationmanager.png

And then run the setup again.
That would get overwritten with next update, right? So it's seems not to be the best possible solution. How about adding a file dialog for the user to enable him to select these images manually? You could add some kind of "special settings" page to not overload the standard settings page.
About that lockscreen -issue. You have rebooted after changing scheme have you?
Of course, many times. But I remember maenotify doing some crude things to the background image. Not easy to understand when and why it updates the basic image it operates on.
