Hello!

I wonder if its possible to get another login screen then the original, and if so how?

Its a bit overcomplicated for my taste, i want username password and being able to select my own background.

And also another splash screen would be nice!

Thanks!

Yes.

1)
The easiest: You start your distribution package manager and do an installation of a new sddm theme package.
You are not telling your distribution - picking one - the Debian and the Debian based: https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw ... ection=all

2)
You could search internet:
- KDE Store sddm themes: https://store.kde.org/browse/cat/101/
- Reddit sddm theme: https://www.reddit.com/r/sddm_themes/

You need to read the theme installation notes !

3)
You could edit the existing themes: viewtopic.php?f=289&t=131783#p364567

The SDDM: https://github.com/sddm/sddm has a theming guide: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/blob/devel ... THEMING.md


After you have installed/made a new theme you could test it:

Code: Select all

sddm-greeter --test --theme /path/to/your/theme

and if it is working you could enable it from the KDE system setting SDDM module:

Earlier: Is possible add other splash screen & change start icon? - viewtopic.php?f=289&t=125293

The KDE splash is part of the Look & Feel. With the Plasma 5.8 and later you could click the 'Get New Looks' button (right lower corner) at the KDE system settings Look and Feel settings:

If you only want to change the splash: KDE System settings > Workspace Theme > Splash Screen...
