Happy New Year, and thanks for all the great and shiny work on shine-on!
Apparently I still don't understand the connection between the change from 'Giants' to 'Shine-on'.
I fully upgraded my Giants system and replaced all giants
packages with the ones from shine-on.
Now, I no longer have any Giants packages installed.
# dpkg -l | grep ii | grep "giants\|shine-on"
ii sddm-theme-shine-on 2024.1-6 all theme for sddm
ii shine-on-common-settings 2024.1-2 all Common settings (installed mode)
ii shine-on-grub-theme 2024.1-1 all grub-theme for shine-on
ii shine-on-sddm-settings 2024.1-2 all SDDM settings (installed mode)
ii shine-on-wallpapers 2024.1-5 all Wallpapers for shine-on
ii shine-on-xfce-artwork 2024.1-1 all Xfce theme for shine-on
ii shine-on-xfce-settings 2024.1-2 all Xfce settings (installed mode)
ii shine-on-xsplash 2024.1-1 all Xfce splash theme for the shine-on
My siduction system is fully updated.
# apt update && apt -V full-upgrade --solver 3.0
All packages are up to date.
After a reboot everything looks well and does shine,- but when I check:
# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: siduction

They are all three showing "_Giants_" instead of "Shine on".
Only
# cat /etc/default/grub.d/siduction.cfg
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=gfxterm

GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="siduction 2024.1 Shine on ..."

is giving me the expected answer.
Did I missed one step, or what are lsb_release, inxi and os-release showing to me?

I don't really understand your problem.
Your system is an up-to-date giants with the shine-on artwork and configs, but it is still a giants installation!
You didn't install new!
So where is the problem?
@hendrikL: Thanks a lot.
I hadn't realised that lsb_release, inxi and os-release are only showing
the source of the installation and not the current state. :-[
If someone wants their .bashrc file to show information about the running sddm-theme,
just put something like the following into it:
# dpkg -l | grep ii | grep sddm-theme | awk '{print $2 " " $3}' | cut -d'-' -f3-
shine-on 2024.1-6
This shows all installed SDDM themes, but not necessarily the active theme:
# dpkg -l | grep ii | grep sddm-theme | awk '{print $2 " ' $3}' | cut -d'-' -f3-
breeze 4:6.2.5-1
shine-on 2024.1-6
However, the active theme is stored here:
cat /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf |grep Current
Current=Ars-SDDM-6
If you have your own theme or a theme from the KDE community (in the system settings installable) you will not find what you are looking for with dpkg.

I could not find anything alike using XFCE comming with the ISO from Giant. :(
# ls /etc/sddm.conf.d/
ls: cannot access '/etc/sddm.conf.d/': No such file or directory
# cat /etc/sddm.conf
[Autologin]

[General]
InputMethod=
mh, "cat /etc/sddm.conf | grep Current"
Show us the output of "ls /etc/sddm*"
# cat /etc/sddm.conf | grep Current
<Empty>
You caught me. :o
# ls /etc/sddm*

After replacing my old config with the new one,
# mv /etc/sddm.conf ~/Documents/$(date +"%Y-%m-%d--%H%M")--etc--sddm.conf
# mv /etc/sddm.conf.dpkg-new /etc/sddm.conf
# rm /etc/sddm.conf~
it looks much better!
# cat /etc/sddm.conf | grep Current
# NOTE: Currently ignored if autologin is enabled.
# Current theme name
Current=shine-on
Thanks for all your help. :D Learned another lesson.
