Description Patrick Silva 2021-01-27 11:54:45 UTC 
SUMMARY
When we want to restore the default background of a SDDM theme using the new SDDM KCM, we need to set another SDDM theme and then switch back to the initial one.
"Clear image" button just sets a blue background to SDDM.
A clearer way to restore the default background would be nice.

Yeah this mildly annoys me too.
Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2023-09-17 09:06:02 UTC 
On Plasma 6 it's impossible to restore the SDDM background even applying a non-Breeze SDDM theme and then switching back to the Breeze one. Also "Defaults" button in the KCM and "Clear image" button in the "Change background" popup do not work.

As I understand it, clearing the image falls back to the color setting in the config file. This looks like an Easter egg, as there is no UI setting for it.
