Breeze is refering to the SDDM theme, not your desktop theme. There is
no oxygen theme for SDDM. Unless you changed it, the default theme is
breeze, but even if you did change it, just look on that same path
substituting your theme for the breeze and it will also have a config
file you can change.
These are the available sddm themes in Bionic:
sddm-theme-breeze
sddm-theme-debian-elarun
sddm-theme-debian-maui
sddm-theme-elarun
sddm-theme-lubuntu-chooser
sddm-theme-maldives
sddm-theme-maui
sddm-theme-maya
