i do have encryption enabled as security was one of the main reasons i moved to linux. however im going to keep autologin disabled as i like requiring a password after waking from sleep.
No worries, the screen should always lock after sleep or idle regardless of SDDM. KDE uses a separate kscreenlocker app for that functionality once your desktop session has started. It’s worth noting the kscreenlocker doesn’t rely on the SDDM theme in any way, as the two are completely separate processes. So, your lock screen will always match your active KDE theme.
