Subject: Re: text too small - almost forgot
I was just poking around the SDDM theme settings and under the advanced
tab I just noticed there is a settings synchronization button that will
allow you to synchronize your desktop settings to the SDDM theme.  That
would probably be the best way to go, and if that works ignore my last
message :)
