What is the default lock screen for Ubuntu 16.04

  • 772

I am using Ubuntu 16.04 and Unity 7.4.0 and have been messing around with the screensavers and lock screens. After trying out xscreensaver and a few others, I tried to go back to the default because I decided that that one looked better than all the others, but I couldn't find it. Most people say that gnome-screensaver is the default for Xenial. I don't think that's right because when my screen is locked with gnome-screensaver, it looks nothing like it did before. It shows an ugly white box with buttons that say Switch User and Unlock and asks for my password. How do I revert back to the default lock screen?

unity

    The default display manager is lightdm, which uses unity-greeter as the default lockscreen.
