I think it should work same as when I submitted the patch. It would be good to add a comment though that this feature is only supported for for SDDM 0.19 and above.

Michael's made a good point about the longevity of this default setting. If it's been set to single click for 20 years and the majority (?) of the users still use double-click then it's ultimately a failure, regardless of whether or not the engineer arguments are valid.
Some simple statements applicable here and in other discussions:

Yeah on second thought this is ugly from a maintenance POV. We'd need a GUI sheet that exposes theme.conf and then blur would be one option.

The more I think about this the more it feels like a workaround. Presuming QQC2's behavior of leaving a pressed button focused after press is correct, perhaps we are at fault for providing the same svg for focus-background and pressed.

don't delete user_manager.kdev4
Make as REUSE compliant as possible
rework licensing stucture due to a flaw in user_manager (it shows every single file in the avatar gallery and the .license files break it)

Use this format https://reuse.software/tutorial/ making a LICENCE/ directory with the licence text in it and cat.jpg.license with the SPDX header
actually remove Chip and Gecko(due to rename)
- rename Gecko to Chameleon because that wasn't a gecko
- remove Chip
- add Air Balloon, Dog, Fish, Owl, Pencils, Sushi
- WIP: licence files
Works well and looks good.
Some pictures I didn't include in case people like them:
- Remove all Unsplash and Pexels licensed photos to avoid complications.
- Use CC0 pictures from Pexels instead
- Licence files to be added
Is this okay now @mart and okay to land on 5.18?

IANAL but the Pexels and Unsplash licence look the same to me: free to distribute, free to modify, no attribution needed, but don't use it to make a Pexels/Unsplash clone. Someone once noted that neither exists in some FOSS licence database. I'll just ask everyone to do CC0 but we'll still credit them. Thanks @ognarb and @jriddell.
If user data would show low vertical panel usage, what are we really fixing and for who? Extrapolating from that and presuming that a fair share of them are content with the current default, why do we go against that? And if it's just a matter of not touching defaults, can you guarantee users are going to be equally content with a left panel as a default?
After additional consideration, I'm not too happy with the car avatar but I did find this:
I'd also be interested if KDE Promo has any insights here. It doesn't seem (?) like we advertise it too much, but I know reviews often praise Plasma for its familiarity for Windows users. Given our major competitor does the opposite and that the majority of our new users are going to be Windows converts (and keeping in mind that the less technologically able people tend to not like unfamiliarity), it seems like a good market share to grab. Changing the layout could mean a boost for other competitors such as Zorin. Thoughts?
This is a major identity change better suited for Plasma 6. We've never had a vertical panel and are moreover defined by offering a layout familiar to Windows users.

We only use the biggest size in this repo.
May 4 2020
Should I also land this for 5.18 (do I have to create a bug report first)?
Drop:
- Air Balloon
- Gamepad
restore the inline message but change its text to note that layout changes have been restricted by the sysadmin
Replace PropertyAnimation with NumberAnimation
probably don't want to include the .directory file
Better file naming
Alright, I believe the issue is with the fact that the avatar gallery is coded to always look for avatars in the system /usr/share dir as opposed to adjusting to testing conditions and using the local /usr/share dir.

The permissions are wrong if we do sudo make install (the photos folder ends up being root owned). But it doesn't show up with make install either. Will investigate more in the morning.
I've proposed some avatars in D29394.

move the code change to CurrentItemHighlight.qml
Ok, so the message can indeed still be turned on.
May 2 2020
Generally I think we can all agree on doing away with QQC1 and PC2, however...
I can't land this at all, do I have to clone from Invent?
May 1 2020
Yeah we shouldn't be mixing Kirigami with Plasma.
Ditch OpacityAnimator and use PropertyAnimation
This kills the animation though... I found this comment in other code:
"//OpacityAnimator when starting from 0 is buggy (it shows one frame with opacity 1)"
