I tweaked the theme to my liking but found that the panel background was too similar to the theme
colors I chose which made everything was unreadable. I liked the colors I had picked so I figured I'd change the panel background. Now this option is exposed to users. I left the color in theme.conf as the original #444444 instead of an SVG color name because 1.) none of the SVG grays were quite as dark and 2.) it shows users an example of a hex color entry.
I also added the community standard Qt .gitignore file. When testing this theme with sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme <Path to theme>, .qmlc files were generated and showed up in git. These need not be tracked as they are just compiled forms of the .qml files.
Attached are the colors I had tried to use initially as well as the colors with a custom, darker background:
