Hello all. Looking to receive assistance with how to setup each user to have a different login theme when signing in and signing out. When setting it from login and Shutdown SDDM setting, the selected theme applies for all users instead of the one logged in.

Help Setting different login themes per user

SDDM is a system level thing, so there is no way to have different themes per-user, as it is running outside of any user session.
In other words, the Login manager doesn't know which user account to use, until one is selected.

there are a few, though they will all be the same - at login, there is no user session defined, so how can it know which user's theme
to show, if such a feature were even possible or available??
You will not find this rather complex feature in any of them, though I did not look. They are loading at the same place, and do the same thing.
One can use a different splash screen that shows after login while the desktop loads.

Thanks Claydoh. I get what you are saying. I see that I was looking at it the wrong way as well. I really was looking at changing the background login picture/wallpaper where I thought SDDM was the way. It something else that has to be edited in a config file per user. Will test that sometime in the future to see how it goes. Thanks again Claydoh for your assistance. Couldn't of found out what I needed without your help.
