As far as I know the Unlock Computer window doesn't have a screen saver when you use Windows+L.
Or do you mean you have set Screen Saver "On resume ....." , which timeout to normal Screen Saver then Unlock Computer window when computer activated again.?
You can change the Logon Screen Saver & normal Screen Saver.?
When you Logoff it starts the Logon Screen Saver which you can change but doesn't Lock computer.,simply requires a password if you have one.
Use Registry Editor via Run & type regedit then navigate to HKEY
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop
SCRNSAVE.EXE logon.scr
If your Screen Saver is in C:\Windows\system32 folder just enter new Screen Saver name , ie: xxxxx.scr
otherwise enter full path to Screen Saver , ie: C:\Windows\system32\logon.scr

Guess:
Check out the following Windows KB article. I think it will tell you what you have to do. Essentially, you edit a registry key.

You can also change the timeout value.
