Can't set custom background in v0.5.4 about kde-plasma-chili HOT 5 CLOSED

Yes indeed, when creating the theme.conf.user file the variable is called "background" and I lately wanted to unify my theme.conf variables to be all uppercase. I didn't test enough with this. To fix this I'll rewrite the logic a little so that the lowercase background variable from theme.conf.user takes precedence. Thanks @r3b311i0n for pointing this out.
And to @mockroot for helping! I'll fix this asap!

P.D.: I actually realize I did this comparison right by default for my latest two themes ^^;

I'm the maintainer of that package and it's not supported by the creator of the theme.
That being said, I don't have any issue with theme.conf.user in my system or in Virtualbox machine and don't know where the problem might be.
I have .jpg background file in the theme directory and this config:

[General]
Background=my-background.jpg

Of course, you can directly edit theme.conf file but it will be overwritten when updating to new version.
Install manually if it doesn't work.

Edit:
Just tried some things. If you use "background=", it doesn't work. Try "Background=" (beginning with uppercase) instead. I don't know why though.

It may be related to this change. @MarianArlt
SDDM creates a line starting with a lower case letter but the theme expects for upper case.

Github release is up to date with v0.5.5. 279cdf8 should fix this. Uploading to opendesktop now.

Yup, using capitalised Background fixes it. And thanks for the responses! 😄
