Before 5.9.0 you could set your own background image for the SDDM login screen. You did this in System Settings>Startup and Shutdown>SDDM
On the right hand side you could set a background image of your own. You can still do it, but it does not stick. I found the file "/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf" and changed it to:
It got rid of the blue colour, but does not show the image. I put the image in the same folder as theme.conf Is there an easier way to do this? Why does it not show the image?

Thanks. Looks like I was close.
Will try it tomorrow morning. I assume your image is also in the same folder? EDIT: Worked fine.

Bug 370521 - [Regresion] SDDM breeze theme unable to change backgound: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=370521
The Breeze SDDM theme (5.9) is expecting 'type=color' or 'type=image' key in the /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf.user Workaround: User can add the missing key to the theme.conf.user. Examples: - https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php ... 0#p1683640 - viewtopic.php?f=289&t=137502#p370239 |

I wanted to post here for people who may have a similar problem. This solution wasn't working for me until I realized the KDE settings app is a bit misleading here. I was just searching SDDM and selecting an image, while the real method should be going to system Settings -> Workspace -> Workspace Behaviour -> Screen Locking -> Appearance as written here: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=167457
This worked and now I can choose a custom wallpaper for the login screen. |
