[SOLVED] Setting cinnamon-screensaver background with Openbox

I'm using openbox as a DE with lightdm pantheon-greeter as a DM. Lastly, I am trying to set up cinnamon-screensaver to lock my computer. It works great (I'm using only the "cinnamon-screensaver-command -l" command to lock the screen), but the background is black. I do not use cinnamon or gdm, so is it possible to change the background image? I do not have adwaita.xml nor a ~/.cinnamon/background directory because I do not actually use cinnamon. As a result, I have not found any posts that apply to this case. Thanks!

I haven't used cinnamon-screensaver for some time but I believe the command is something like this:

gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.background picture-uri "file:///path/to/my/picture.jpg"
