Hi Martín, 1. Yes, you are right, it is typo. Thanks for reporting. 2. Circles and elarun themes are based on QtQuick1. Maldives and Maui themes are based on QtQuick2. Qt4 doesnt support QtQuick2, Qt5 doesnt support QtQuick1. So they dont work together. Actually I have just found that QtQuick1 for Qt5 is available as a seperate module. Maybe we can depend on that, so that Circles and elarun works in qt5 too. or we can go qt5-only at some point and port/ditch old themes. 3. User avatar functionality and the Maui theme is a couple of days old. Default face icons were something I simply copied from KDE. They should be replaced with proper ones. 4. ... Regarding your freeze bug, I have to investigate it. I am not sure about the cause now.

Regarding topic #4: Shame on me, what I was thinking off! They value for the key "Default Session" is the same as in every other login manager in the world :p For the KDE SC Plasma Workspace is '=kde-plasma.desktop' *** UPDATE *** After starting and stoping SDDM several times -because I was trying to make Circles theme work- I finally log in my KDE SC session just to find it frozen - at least that was my first impression, keep reading. Nothing worked: I wasn't unable to restart the X server via the assigned hot key (in my case the good old C^Meta Backspace combination) and even was unable to switch to any tty. However after several seconds (15? 30?) I was able to change back and forth to the ttys but when I got to tty7 the session was restarted and I found myself at the login screen again - I presume there was some kind of bug eating all the CPU cores and where resources were freed the system executed my command to kill the X server.

Firsts findings after a fresh install: 1. "j:0 /usr/share/apps/sddm/themes/Circles $ cat README This theme is part of the Simple Desktop Display Manager distrubition." Please note the typo in "distribution". Because it's a typo, right? 2. Circles and elarun, the both themes that are installed by default with sddm-qt5-git don't work, they only show a a white screen with the mouse. May be you want to guide me on how to debug the issue. 3. Maldives and Maui themes works great albeit I found the default user avatar is too small for the Maui theme; I have to try using a bigger icon so the avatar isn't pixelated when enlarged to fit the avatar frame. 4. Can't set the default session for KDE SC. I tried, =KDE, =Plasma and =KDE Plasma Workspace but none of them work, I would appreciate some light on how to correctly set the default session. So far I like SDDM very much, it's _very_ flexible and yet minimalist sticking to a true KISS concept: well done.
