Im using Quick Tweak to do this but it would be great if this app did it too :)

Could you explain what exactly are you looking for?

Setting the lock screen background image is standard Harmattan operating system functionality. It definitely does work. There is no need to have the same setting in an another application. (Also, "Home Screen Settings" is not "Lock Screen Settings".)

I mean doing the Lockscreen landscape background.
It can be achieved by QuickTweak.

Like, having one image, then rotate and see the rest of the image instead of black.

Indeed. That requires modifications to Harmattan operating system files, which is something applications should not do for various reasons. Those willing to make (potentially dangerous) modifications to their system are of course free to do so and for that purpose QuickTweak is probably a suitable tool, but users of such modifications need to be aware of the risks and consequences.

So, in short: The lock screen is not a part of the home screen and by that reason alone is beyond the scope of Home Screen Settings. Also, this requires modifications to system files, which is not allowed in Store applications (and is also something a "consumer" application should not do).

Hi Vesuri!
could it be possible to implement extra colorschemes to the sine background? Im thinking of something to choose the fore and background colors in the settings screen, this way everyone can set their own color to it :) Thanks!

These can be changed by editing gconf keys. If you install gconfik, it will provide you a GUI to view and edit these keys. All aspects of the sine colour scheme can be modded
