    [System] Boot Splash Screen settings not quite right?

    After exploring various settings I came upon the Boot Splash Screen which I assume is what is displayed as the system boots to login. With the exception of Breeze and Breeze (Text Mode) everything is showing the icon that is typical of "missing image" on a website. Is that an error or what?

      I forgot to add the for whatever reason login also opens the virtual keyboard even though I have a physical keyboard alive and active.

        I've noticed this same thing with a lot of the sddm login screens, but it doesn't happen with all of them. My suggestion is just keep looking until you find one that doesn't give you the virtual keyboard. I believe that some of the authors that switched their themes over from kde5 to kde6 just didn't do something right. As for the boot splash screen, I'm not sure about that one because I don't mess with it. With the virtual keyboard thing though, you could message the author of a particular theme and let them know what it's doing.

          Boot splash are the Plymouth splash screens that shows between grub and the login manager. These are unrelated to Plasma or the Plasma version.

          The lack of a screenshot I think may be simply that they didn't come with one, or something along those lines. These are other part of Plymouth, or from Ubuntu. I am not sure, as I don't often change this, but this has been this way for a very long time, as in multiple years or even longer, and may not be specific to Kubuntu or KDE.

          I installed one for KDE neon, and it does show a screenshot, fwiw.

          The 'regular' splash screen is the one that comers after the SDDM login screen while the desktop loads. This one is a KDE specific item, and iirc being Plasma 6 compatible is necessary.

            My sddm theme, "sugar candy", stopped working with 25.04, and the result was barely usable. I had to switch to "breeze" to get somet6hing that worked properly.
