how to make xfce to use an alternative screen locker? [solved]

hi everybody, this is probably a silly question for you but i haven't found anything helpful on google.

- I'm on a fresh arch installation using xfce
- i set up lightdm-slick-greeter
- i noticed the screen lock looks different from the greeter
- i want the screen lock to look exactly like the greeter

can you point me out to a useful page to solve this?
i'm good at following wiki and documentation, i just can't find anything useful about this.

Thank you!

this command makes xfce use ligth-locker to lock the screen

xfconf-query --create -c xfce4-session -p /general/LockCommand -t string -s "light-locker-command --lock"

solved!
