    <thetext>Hello,

The port x11-themes/sddm-freebsd-black-theme appears to be incompatible with the current version of SDDM (0.21.0.36_2).

1. Incorrect greeter requirement

The theme currently requires:

/usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter

However, recent SDDM versions (including 0.21.0.36_2) use:

/usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter-qt6

As a result, SDDM reports:

The theme at &quot;/usr/local/share/sddm/themes/sddm-freebsd-black-theme&quot;
requires missing &quot;/usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter&quot;. Using fallback theme.

(WW) DAEMON: The theme at &quot;/usr/local/share/sddm/themes/sddm-freebsd-black-theme&quot; requires missing &quot;/usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter&quot; . Using fallback theme.

Even if I temporarily work around this with:

ln -s /usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter-qt6 /usr/local/bin/sddm-greeter

the theme still fails to load.

2. QML error with Qt6 greeter

When forcing it to use sddm-greeter-qt6, the greeter reports:


The current theme cannot be loaded due to the errors below,
please select another theme.

file:///usr/local/share/sddm/themes/sddm-freebsd-black-theme/Main.qml:49:24:
Invalid property assignment: &quot;name&quot; is a read-only property

This suggests the theme’s QML is not compatible with the Qt6-based greeter and likely needs to be updated for Qt6.

3. Maintainer status

According to FreshPorts:
https://www.freshports.org/x11-themes/sddm-freebsd-black-theme/

There is currently no maintainer assigned for this port.

If needed, I am willing to take over maintenance of this port and update it to properly support SDDM with Qt6.

Please let me know the correct procedure for becoming the maintainer.

Thank you.</thetext>
