I dislike the SDDM logoff screen

[monon]

I recently installed Kubuntu 16.10, which installed SDDM. I do not care for the logoff screen at all, but cannot figure out how to change it. I did find some different screens for the login, but these do not alter the logoff.

Does anyone have an idea on this?

Thank you,
Monon

system setting -> start up / shutdown -> sddm theme to change the theme.

if you dont' want to see the extra prompt to ask if you want to shutdown / logoff. you can disable this in

system settings -> start up / shutdown ->desktop session -> confirm logout / offer shutdown options

KDE Plasma Look and Feel



The logoff/logout screens are not part of the SDDM. They are part of the plasma look and feel theme.

The Look and Feel themes are installed to:

System: /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/
User: ~/.local/share/plasma/look-and-feel/



The logout screen is qml scrip at .../plasma/look-and-feel/<THEME_NAME>/contents/logout/...



and as 'sithlord48 ' wrote, user can disable the logout screen.
