SDDM Settings not setting

Hello!

I have been fighting tooth and nail to get the SDDM to reflect the Plasma settings. I have a duo monitor set up and I have taken the following steps to try to fix the issue.

  1. Disable the second monitor in the Display Settings
  2. Return to the Themes, SDDM page
  3. Apply Plasma Settings
  4. Re-select the SDDM (Default Dragonized Sweet)
  5. Apply changes one more again
  6. Restart PC

That did not work, so I checked the sddm.conf in etc and it was blank with no changes made. I then retrieved an example document and attempted to re-try the steps above with no success.
