Using SDDM with i3

I want to use SDDM as login manager for my i3 setup
because I like the breeze theme for SDDM that the plasma desktop
brings with.

The Problem is that I cant find the breeze theme in /usr/share/sddm/themes, where it shoud be like
all the other themes.

Does anybody has an idea how to get the breeze theme working for sddm?

Side-fact:
It is possible to install SDDM without many KDE dependencies, which is quite nice!!!

Re: Using SDDM with i3

It looks like you'll have to install "plasma-workspace" to get the theme:

$ pacman -Qo  /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/
/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/ is owned by plasma-workspace 5.12.4-3
