Indeed. When it comes to icons, here's what I tried and failed at:

- copied the entire .config folder into /var/lib/sddm/.config because as a user
I simply don't know what the "relevant files" are -> does not give desired
icons, but what I learned was that if you copy fontconfig and .kdeglobals it
will at least give you your desired fonts, fontsizes, font rendering and theme
colors)
- added an iconTheme value to theme.conf -> does not work
- edited main.qml so that the icon paths point directly to the icons I like ->
works, but sddm renders these icons terribly, even though they're of good
quality
- wiped the Breeze icon theme and replaced it with another one -> does not work
- wiped the Breeze desktop theme and replaced it with another one -> does not
work

So you can manually change some things with the Breeze theme, but I still have
no clue how to properly change the icons. And thanks to not making SDDM
customizable back when it was being implemented, as a consequence you now have
some third-party themes which hardcode additional stuff (e.g font), meaning you
possibly can't just elegantly parse values that would affect all themes into
/var/lib/sddm/.config anymore even if you wanted to implement what I proposed
here.
