Yes, I'm aware. It came up numerous times in our multi-day discussion! :)

The current Breeze wallpaper actually looks fantastic. See

Without changes to the SDDM and KScreenLocker themes, we'd need to
ensure that subsequent wallpapers also look this good, but that seems
doable.

I'd strongly approve, and that would solve a multitude of bugs and user
complaints about the default theme being unreadable on light backgrounds:
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=388622
- https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369676
We'd want to make it look good, of course, so people don't complain
about *that!*
Would you like me to file Bugzilla tickets to track this work?
Thanks!
