OK I made it work via a different approach. Seems that sddm ignores .face.icon and .face. In /etc/sddm.conf I added explicit directory for faces like this:
Then I put file rocky.face.icon in my own home dir and then it worked. However, in a multiuser system this would need to be setup differently, for example using something like /etc/sddm/faces/ and put all face files into it with naming convention username.face.icon
But of course, this is not a user-friendly approach
Code:
[Theme]
Current=breeze
CursorTheme=breeze_cursors
FacesDir=/home/rocky/
