Is there a file somewhere that I can change?

Thank you, Chaos! You're a hero :)

Do you happen to know if the loading screen image/animation is changeable as well? The image/animation which is presented before the login screen.

I have never tried myself, but this[1] might help.

Cool thank you :)

I got it to change the background of the loading screen when shutting down, but it's the same Flidas artwork when turning on haha, peculiar.

I noticed that when the computer had been idle and got locked there was a different login screen then the one I changed. Do you know anything about this?

mate-screensaver doesn't have a feature to change the background of the
lockscreen. In 2017 a patch was added that makes it so that the
background matches your desktop background,[1] but the change was made too
late to be present in Flidas. Etiona will have it. The link below
includes some workarounds you might try.

If anyone else sees this and is interested I followed the steps of user stethewwolf and edited the image located at /usr/share/backgrounds/flidas.jpg which solved it :)

Now the only thing missing to customize is the dialog box on Lock Screen =D If anyone here has any tips, please do shout out!

Sorry, I'm not sure how. I use i3lock-color[1] instead of
mate-screensaver.

Does using that program give you a different login dialog box than the one in MATE Lock Screen?

It's a completely different screen locker. The link has screenshots.
