Author RH9: How do I replace the ugly XScreenSaver unlock box?

My Redhat 9 computer uses gnome. When I select "Lock the screen" from
the menu, it goes into screen saver mode. When I move the mouse or touch
the keyboard, an ugly XScreenSaver unlock dialog box with even uglier
fonts comes up.

How do I replace this XScreenSaver unlock dialog box with something that
looks better?

Thank you in advance

If you want to change the image you can replace the
/usr/share/pixmaps/xscreensaver.xpm with an image of your
choice. just name it xscreensaver.xpm

Thank you for your reply, I mostly want to replace the whole dialog box
with one that looks like the gnome bluecurve theme. If that is not
possible, I'd like to at least be able to replace the dialog box fonts
with antialiased fonts.

Ok then I think you need to look through the
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XScreenSaver file to see what you can change.
