Settings, display, screen display, lock screen wallpaper.

Settings -> Display -> Screen Display -> Lock Screen Wallpaper
How are you tech-savvy enough to find your way to an XDA forum?

Exactly what I was thinking lol

Also, fun fact:
If you are rooted and set the lockscreen background to an image from the SD card you can boot into recovery and "fix permissions". Once you do this the lockscreen will have a 100% transparent wallpaper.
Try it, it's neat.

How to set 720 x 1280 wallpaer without scrolling

I have 720 x 1280 resolution wallpapers. Whenever i set those at home screen then that wallpaper auto scroll. I waqnt to stop that scrolling.
Instead of going to personalize and changing the wallpaper from there, go to your gallary manually, go to the desired image you'd like to set as your background, hit the "more" option and then the "set as" and select background.
I think that will work with the perfect sized image for the screen for you. If not you will need to replace the launcher completely to rid of the scroll feature

Lockscreen Wallpaper Known Issue.

The blurry/discolored wallpaper on the lockscreen is really irritating and I cannot figure out a way to fix this. I understand the ripple effect is whats causing the issue and disabling it will fix it but I don't like the standard unlock, to big and weird looking. I am actually a fan of the ripple but every wallpaper that I use looks terrible with ripple enabled.
Any roms or other Ideas on how to clear this up? Does this lockscreen wallpaper glitch affect everyone or just some of us?
this one works perfectly on mine
u have to set it to really see it
I noticed this too and it was really bothering me.
The only solution I found was to:
1) Disable the ripple effect in Settings->Lock Screen->Lock Screen Options
2) Go back to the home screen and set your lock screen wallpaper
3) Go back to the Lock Screen Options and re-enable the ripple effect.
Then you should have a nice clear photo in your lock screen with the ripple effect fully functioning. Let us know if it works for you too.

Not working, can you go more in-depth in the step by step or is it not guaranteed to work?

[Q] [Solved] How to invert colors by just presssing home button 3 times

EDIT:
My bad: I forgot how to I did it the first time: http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-accessibility-options
Accessibility settings:
One just has to activate "Direct Access" and select "invert colors" as the function that should be done when pressing the home button 3 times.
So you can invert the colours on the Tab S ??
John.
Yes and as it is OLED it consumes less power on dark screens
I wish the invert function had an option to limit inversion to white backgrounds and black text as I despise the "snow blind" effect of Lollipop and the new TouchWiz settings. Unfortunately this feature in its current form makes any other colors but black/white hideous. Oh well, half way there.

As far as I know, you cannot.
There is 1 way to make it less dim, set a wallpaper for the Lock screen:
Settings > Personalize > Edit current theme > Lock screen wallpaper.
If you select the same wallpaper as that for the home screen, you'll notice the diming is less.
Same issue, it piss me off. Better is enemy of good, why htc didn't leave it as it is?

Thanks for tip. Unfortunately, it looks like I cannot select my live wallpaper as my Lock screen wallpaper if I try to do it that way. I use 500 Firepaper and it shows beautiful images and it's unfortunate that the lockscreen image is so dark.

Agreed. Or at least add in a setting that allows us to toggle it off-on.
