Solved SDDM ignores settings specified in sddm.conf

I installed the theme 'Elarun' in the location /usr/local/share/sddm/themes
I also created the /usr/local/etc/sddm.conf file. In this sddm.conf file I have the following text:

Code:
[Theme]
Current=Elarun
It continues to use the default theme. Is /usr/local/etc/ the correct location for the SDDM configuration file?
Or should I create a sddm.conf file in /usr/local/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d or /usr/local/etc/sddm.conf.d?
 
AFAIK /usr/local/etc/sddm.conf is the correct location for FreeBSD systems.

Modifying sddm.conf doesn't always do the trick. Try making your changes using the GUI "System Settings" program.

It was apparently just a subtle typo. It worked with the following text:

Code:
[Theme]
Current=elarun
