Not all themes from KDE Store are affected.

1. open SDDM KCM
2. install Darkine and KDE-Story SDDM themes via 'Get new sddm themes...' button
3. click on the button to preview the background of the installed themes

OBSERVED RESULT
as seen in the attached screenshot, a popup shows up saying "No image selected'

the popup should show the preview of the background

Can reproduce. I took a look and those themes are misconfigured, specifying a relative path for the background= keys in their theme.conf and theme.conf.user files. The paths need to be absolute, or else SDDM won't be able to see them.

We could show an error message to the user here alerting them to the fact that the theme is broken.
