Kawaoneechan@RangerRick That's because you basically all but can't do that level of customization anymore. At the very least not in Windows.
LP🔸Light up the night@kawa @RangerRick This. It's still a lot worse than the Win3/9X days in the Linux world. In theory you could totally build a theme, but you better go figure out how to do that for GTK, and Qt, and maybe Plasma, and none of these are "pick colors in a GUI".
(The nutso one to me with KDE is that you can't even change your lock screen wallpaper without creating a new SDDM theme. Plymouth too, but at least being *able* to change the boot screen is a *high* bar there.)
@LionsPhil @RangerRick I'm sorry, you can't change WHAT without jumping through inane hoops?
@kawa Sorry, I mean the *login* screen, because obviously that's separate.

And the answer is "uhhh copy the theme file somewhere and edit paths inside it, make sure not in your homedir", because someone decided to make all this fully scriptable and layout-controllable, which is admirable, but in the process broke "I can just select an image file and have that appear when my computer is waiting for the password".
Changing Lockscreen and Wallpaper on Plasma 6

I have changed the wallpaper via Right Click > Configure Desktop and Wallpaper, however, what I chose doesn’t change the Lock screen, and I can’t find any options for changing the lock screen. There’s also a bug where the second screen shows the default wallpaper of KDE Neon instead of what I chose. Unfortunately, the default options are not the best in my opinion, an...
Kg. Madee Ⅱ.@LionsPhil @kawa did that regress from KDE 5 to 6? I'm still on Debian 12 and changed that with 2 clicks & my admin password
@kgMadee2 took a while to be back on that device, but Debian 13/Plasma 6, it's all Themes now.
I'd love to be wrong, but if there's a plain image picker, I'm missing it (it's not under the three-dot menu). The "get new" store does not exactly inspire confidence either, with the whole "oh yeah these are arbitrary code execution by design". Yeah, bad design. 
@LionsPhil thebl Breeze thumbnail should have 2 buttons when you hover over them, 1 info & 1 to select a background image

@kgMadee2 arrrgh, and for a second there I was hopeful I *had* just missed it 
@kgMadee2 OK, I dug at this again now I'm Debianing the desktop, and it was a stupid fix for a stupid bit of WinDOS-y design to put user config in an install dir: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1090041
Which means, meh, write that conf file without the UI: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM#Customizing_a_theme
@LionsPhil thanks :)
