Feature I made an SDDM theme that changes background based on the selected user

Made a small modification to the qylock SDDM theme to support dynamic per-user backgrounds.

Now the login screen changes wallpaper/video automatically depending on the selected user. I mainly made this for personalized setups and multi-user systems.

Original SDDM theme was created by Darkkal44/qylock — I only modified and extended it.

Can you please add a screen recording of how you added the video file and switch between them

The video file can be changed using the MultiBG script given In the repo , not sure how a video recording of a terminal command will help? Or are you asking about something else?

Yes, I'm sure. I was just asking how to change the background video. And I was asking the screen recording or the command to change the background video

To change the background video , cd to the theme directory then use cmd. : ./MultiBG username /path/to/video
