[SOLVED] Pretty ugly lockscreen after restart or logout on KDE Plasma
This is a common problem, as some research on google confirmed, and as I always had it when installing Arch and plasma (on multiple computers), but I've never really wandered if there was any fix to it
SDDM is enabled at startup
sudo systemctl enable sddm.serviceThe lockscreen has the correct theme (in my case, the default Breeze) after a normal screen lock (also if automatic after x time) or changing the user
I'm pretty sure that many of you know what I mean
Thank you in advance!

Re: [SOLVED] Pretty ugly lockscreen after restart or logout on KDE Plasma
The "common problem" is confusing the login screen (SDDM) and the lock screen, which are different things, and therefore need to be configured separately.

Oh, thanks!
Where can I configure the login screen then, to make it look like the lockscreen?

Re: [SOLVED] Pretty ugly lockscreen after restart or logout on KDE Plasma
Where did you configure the lockscreen?
You'll also need a corresponding sddm theme, though.

Iff that is the problem, because your OP is a pretty much unintelligable "you're supposed to know what my problem is so I'm not gonna say it".
Starting w/ "pretty ugly" and resulting in nobody knowing whether it's the design of the screenlocker or sddm that you object to.

Configured the lockscreen from KDE's system settings

And if you installed https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/sddm-kcm/ that's also where you can configure SDDM.
We're still in the dark about the actual object of your post, though.
