Settings for wallpaper and date/time locale

[isf63]

I saw this project is regularly updated so I thought I'd inquire about it.

I'd like to set a persistent wallpaper in /usr/share/sddm/themes/sddm-astronaut-theme/Backgrounds/. I replace 1.png every time it updates; I use Arch's aur/sddm-astronaut-theme so this is often.

Also, I'd like to be able to customize the format of the time and date - specifically by setting time to h:mm AP (12 hour time) and being able to customize the date.

Thanks for this project, there are not many Qt6 SDDM themes and this one is clean and polished.

Hi @isf63, ty for kind words.

You can already customize the format of the time and date in the config file.

sddm-astronaut-theme/Themes/theme1.conf

Lines 20 to 23 in 8d0c59d

	HourFormat="HH:mm"
	# Default Locale.ShortFormat.
	DateFormat="dddd d MMMM"
	# Default Locale.LongFormat.

Unfortunately, so far there is no official version of this theme in aur.
You are probably using D3vil0p3r's (<vozaanthony[at]gmail[dot]com>) version.
This theme is currently not suitable for package managers, and config is overwritten by each version.

One solution is to add this package to IgnorePkg in /etc/pacman.conf.

# Pacman won't upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup
IgnorePkg   = sddm-astronaut-theme
#IgnoreGroup =

In the future if I decide to make a official version for aur, I will try to solve this problem.
Thank you for pointing this out.
