Description: Login manager for SDDM based on a Kubuntu 24 LTS SDDM_Plasma by marusyarasskaz which is not available in the KDE store but shipped with Kubuntu 24 LTS.
This modification features a modified version of https://forum.elivelinux.org/t/would-like-to-change-login-screen-have-lcars-desktop-gdm-widescreen/3681/4 as background using the LCARS GTJ3.ttf font of https://gtjlcars.de/LCARSindex/LCARSFONTS.htm.
That font is licensed as freeware and may not be sold. Therefore, this SDDM theme is not to be charged for and provided free of charge. With the exception of the font file the rest of the theme is licensed under the GPLv3.
Note on the comment history: That login manager is derived from SDDM_Plasma which is shipped with Kubuntu 24 LTS. That base SDDM project uses Kubuntu specific imports which may not work on other distributions. I was trying to fix that but had to abort at BreezeMenuStyle.qml which uses QtQuick.Controls.Styles.MenuStyle from QtQuick Controls version 1. Since Qt 5.12 the QtQuick Controls 1 are deprecated and the styling has been breakingly changed. If you know how to migrate that file to QtQuick Controls 2.12 or newer please feel free to create a PR on Github and I'll update this SDDM login manager if your PR also works with Kubuntu.
Until then: This one works only with Kubuntu 24 LTS.
Would very much like to use this SDDM theme, however it throws errors. Had a similar issue with Nightglow Blue SDDM, reported to the dev and his solution was to add versioning to his theme and it worked. Hopefully that's the same issue here. I am using the LCARS-Kvantum and it blends quite well with the other elements of my desktop. Won't add a rating now, cause I don't want to cause your ratings to get too low.
This is the error at login:
file://usr/share/sddm/themes/SDDM_Plasma_Federation/Maim.qml.28.1: module"org.kde.plasma.extras" is not installed.
Several other lines with the same message where the qml version changes to 27.1
Hope that's useful.
Btw, I did make a plymoth boot theme out of that as well. However, it doesn't work after installing. The Plymouth documentation is poor and all the forum hints I found didn't make it work out of the box. However, I didn't uninstall it and left it selected and after a couple of regular apt updates Kubuntu 24 LTS started to use it.
But due to that uncontrollable behavior I didn't upload it here.
Not working due to missing QtQuick.Control version 1.1 not installed.
I am on Manjaro, searched for the package in the official repositories and in AUR, this is not available. I saw on Github the last time there was any ativiivy in qtquickcontrols was 4 years ago.
I'm sorry, but I've no good news for you. I just spent two hours on this and will abort now. It Looks like the base of my SDDM Login Manager is tied to Kubuntu 24 LTS. The SDDM_Plasma is not available here in the KDE store. I've updated all the import versions to QtQuick 2.12 which fixed all the errors except for one:
The file BreezeMenuStyle.qml restyles the Menu using a QtQuick Control 1 MenuStyle type. But the styling has been breakingly changed in QtQuick 2.12 and I don't know how to migrate that code. I couldn't find any migration guide by Qt for that. If you or someone else knows how to migrate that code, please open a PR on Github and I'll update that package here.
For the time beeing, I'll adjust the description and title in the KDE store to make clear this is probably only working with Kubuntu.
That's ok. I am not a coder so cannot help here. Would've a super SDDM theme.
I am really enjoying the kvantum theme, it really brightens my desktop.
Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for the report. I'll have a look into it.

Installed Qt Creator in the hope QtQuick Controls was bundled with it, no luck, same error.

I've added the QtVersion and provided version 0.2 of that theme. Please try again.
