Login screen with different wallpapers

Hey guys,
Back in Trisquel 7 in the user login screen, the wallpaper would change to match the wallpaper of each user as you selected each one. In Trisquel 8 it doesn't work. Any idea why? How can I get it back? Thanks.
You may need to try to change another login manager like SDDM, in SDDM changing backgrounds are simply running Plasma system settings 5 as root,
sudo systemsettings5
if you have also installed these packages,
sudo apt install -y sddm systemsettings sddm-kde-config
The best UX within SDDM is also to also install Plasma,
sudo apt install -y openbox-kde-session
Thanks
Apparently I don't have systemsettings5 installed. Also, I would not change the login manager to get this effect, I just thought it was possible to obtain it by changing some simple configuration. Thanks anyway.
How can I know which login manager I have installed and running right now? Thanks.

$ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager
It's probably lightdm.
Then, if you also have Plasma installed in your Trisquel system you just need to run "sudo systemsettings5" then enter "Login screen (SDDM)" section to add your favourite SDDM themes.
However, are there also simple tools to do so if LightDM instead of SDDM? Simply I'm asking for SDDM-KCM-like tools for LightDM. :)
$ cat /etc/conf.d/xdm
DISPLAYMANAGER=sddm
DISPLAY_MANAGER=sddm
Here stores your preferred DM in Parabola, then /etc/X11/default-display-manager stores this for Trisquel right? :)
I just tried to solve this issue myself and also could not figure out to make lighdm in Trisquel 8 point to a different image for the login screen background wallpaper. However, I have been able to change the wallpaper by going to /usr/share/backgrounds and overwriting the "flidas.jpg" image with my own, using the same name.
You may want to backup the "flidas.jpg" image before you overwrite it! :D
The background wallpaper is @
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/trisquel-logo
Edit
/usr/share/plymouth/themes/trisquel-logo/trisquel-logo.plymouth
to change the wallpaper.
I wonder what the difference is between your solution and my solution... Hrm.
You wonder for a reason. That location was the Plymouth Splash screen file folder. My mistake. Your solution stands.
I actually think you are onto something. i oticed that my shutdown screen still uses the default wallpaper. maybe that image is drawn from the plymouth folder as you indicated? I might check this.

I changed the picture there (background.png). It only applies to the splash screen. My mistake was to assume it would apply to the login screen as well.
