              System configuration directory

       /etc/sddm.conf.d
              Local configuration directory

DESCRIPTION

       This  file  configures  various  parameters  of  the  sddm  display manager sddm(1).  If this file is not
       available, default values are used.

OPTIONS

       [General] section:

       HaltCommand=
              Halt command.  Default value is "/bin/systemctl poweroff".

       RebootCommand=
              Reboot command.  Default value is "/bin/systemctl reboot".

       Numlock=
              Change numlock state when sddm-greeter starts.  Valid values are on, off or none.  If property  is
              set to none, numlock won't be changed.  Default value is "none".

       InputMethod=
              Set  the Qt input method for the greeter.  Tablet users with Qt Virtual Keyboard installed can set
              this to "qtvirtualkeyboard" for the on-screen keyboard.  Other known values  are  "ibus"  for  the
              Intelligent Input Bus, or "compose" for dead keys support.  Leave this empty if unsure.

       Namespaces=
              Comma-separated  list of paths bound to Linux namespaces to enter with setns() before starting the
              user session.  For example, to enter network namespace mynet created with ip netns add mynet,  the
              value  might be /run/netns/mynet.  Default value is empty.  (The value is ignored if the operating
              system is not Linux.)

       [Theme] section:

       ThemeDir=
              Path of the directory containing theme files.  Default value is "/usr/share/sddm/themes".

       Current=
              Name of the current theme.  By default this setting is empty, meaning the embedded theme  will  be
              used.

       FacesDir=
              Path  of  the  directory containing face files, face files should be in username.face.icon format.

              still override this option.

       EnableAvatars=
              When  enabled,  home directories are searched for ".face.icon" images to display as their avatars.
              This can be slow on some file systems.  When disabled, all avatars will  be  default.  Themes  may
              choose to hide them altogether.  Default value is true.
