Ahh got it. Then yeah, for now, the simplest approach may be a new theme
svg file containing the visual assets for unified login/logout/lockscreen
visuals. The theme guidance for this file could be that foreground and
background colors should be swapped since the assets are used in an
inverted color environment. I delivered an initial batch of some mockup
assets to David as separate svgs already, but it should be easy for me to
package them up into one svg for the plasma theme.

switching parameters in an ImageProvider url that could replace element
classes or even just temporarily change the colors in the svg:style css
element for an svg file. Visual designers' dreams... :-)
