Hi,
When I described it as "horrible", I wanted to mean what you described
(very small size and each character is 1 pixel or less, ;)). In my case,
I have no background either and the button to select between X11 and
Wayland can't be seen.

At least, metadata.desktop and theme.conf have disappeared with the new
version of the package. When you restored those files from the previous
packages, sddm seems to work fine (I haven't done any additional testing
beside that the screen seems to look as it was).

Hi there,
Downgrading the following packages:
- sddm-themes-breeze
- sddm-theme-debian-breeze
to version 4:5.27.7-2 makes sddm fully usable again with no issues.
It seems some changes have been made on version 4:5.27.8-1 that have
broken
sddm.
I hope this helps.

I have issues too with sddm-theme-debian-breeze 5.27.8-1, but the
symptom is different.
I get a correct screen, but the password field has a very small font
size and each character is 1 pixel.
Using diffoscope, it appears sddm-theme-debian-breeze 5.27.8-1 doesn't
have the theme.conf file.
Adding back theme.conf from version 5.27.7-2 with 5.27.8-1 installed
fix the issue for me.
Note: metadata.desktop was also removed in 5.27.8-1, maybe it
shouldn't too.
@Miguel, can you try to do the same to check if theme.conf is also the
cause of your issues ?
That is, adding `/usr/share/sddm/themes/debian-breeze/theme.conf` with
this content:
```
[General]
showlogo=hidden
logo=/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/default-logo.svg
type=image
color=#1d99f3
fontSize=10
background=/usr/share/desktop-base/active-theme/login/background.svg
needsFullUserModel=false
```
