  Yes, it would be perfectly possible to do that. Whether or not this is desirable is another matter of course. :) We'd need to adjust the UI in the SDDM KCM to mention that it also affects the splash screen.
  
  This occurred to me while I was making the patch, but I decided to leave it out for now. I think whether the login and splash screens should always have the same image is an interesting idea that needs more discussion before patches are submitted. :)

D18006 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D18006> isn't going to land in 5.16 (if ever), so I would prefer to use the same value as the SDDM theme current uses to make sure that the visuals are identical. If and when D18006 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D18006> lands, we do this there too.
