Bug ID: 476458
Summary: SDDM themes need curation
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@flavor8.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to the SDDM theme chooser in settings
2. Browse themes
OBSERVED RESULT
There are many very amateur themes in the chooser. While there is the banner
warning about it being user generated content, so many of these are so terrible
that I don't believe plasma should be offering them via the default UI.
Wallpaper is one thing, but the login screen needs to be robust and to be
competent - a user who stumbles there way into changing the sddm theme and then
forgets what they did (it doesn't, after all, reflect immediately) is then
"stuck" with an amateur screen. (Furthermore some of these actually crash sddm,
per my sibling bug).
I'd suggest rethinking whether to even offer the feature (separate ticket), but
at minimum there needs to be some kind of qa or gatekeeping to what gets
admitted to the chooser.
