I’m using global theme Nordic-darker and SDDM theme Dr460nized-sugar-candy (though I’ve tried this with several) and the correct SDDM screen comes up after reboot and logout, but whenever the computer wakes from sleep, it defaults to the Dr460nized SDDM theme with Malefor’s beautiful face staring at me. Can’t for the life of me figure out how to change it. So far, I’ve tried
- editing the /usr/lib/sddm.conf.d/dr460nized.conf file directly (which broke things, so I changed it back),
- /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf reads the correct theme (as it is set by the system settings), so I didn’t edit that
I can’t figure out what setting keeps defaulting to the Dr460nized theme only when waking from sleep. I’ve searched the Garuda forum and Arch wiki, and did a basic web search, but couldn’t find a fix described for this problem. Any guidance or advice would be appreciated!
