Hello, everyone.
Since lightdm-openrc does not work for me, possibly due to nvidia drivers, I decided to try sddm-openrc.
Please tell me how to change the background (photo) that is set by default after installing sddm? I looked at the Arch Linux wiki, but it didn't work... https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM
/usr/share/sddm/themes/name/theme.conf.user
[General]
background=/path/to/background.png
As for changing the avatar, I figured it out, it works, here are my steps, maybe it will be useful to someone.
1. Downloaded an avatar in jpg or png format, for example test.jpg
2. Renamed test.jpg to tom.face.icon # tom is your username
$ whoami
3. Move
tom.face.icon to the /usr/share/sddm/faces/ directory
$ sudo mv tom.face.icon /usr/share/sddm/faces/

Use ~/.face.icon path instead, no need to pollute /usr/*
Thank you for your answer. As for changing the avatar as I wrote above, I did it, I can't figure out how to change the background.
As for what you wrote
/etc/sddm.conf.d/avatar.conf
there is no such file and directory, you can check for yourself))
I'm using
XFCE4 and
sddm-openrc
