Just a suggestion...if you've enabled disk encryption during installation, consider enabling autologin for SDDM so you're not having to enter two credentials at boot. You'll rarely ever see your greeter again, so it won't really matter which theme is used.
And if you did not enable disk encryption, consider doing so as the security and privacy benefits are significant for most users.
i do have encryption enabled as security was one of the main reasons i moved to linux. however im going to keep autologin disabled as i like requiring a password after waking from sleep.
No worries, the screen should always lock after sleep or idle regardless of SDDM. KDE uses a separate kscreenlocker app for that functionality once your desktop session has started. It's worth noting the kscreenlocker doesn't rely on the SDDM theme in any way, as the two are completely separate processes. So, your lock screen will always match your active KDE theme.
