should be able to change wallpaper without creating a new theme

Feature Request

should be able to change wallpaper without creating a new theme. Even just being able to reposition the wallpaper itself, right now I can only do that through “create a new theme”.

Or just duplicate the current theme.

Also, I find the “theme” bit of the app needs various bug fixing and improvements.

Some examples:

  • after having created a new theme, it happens often that it wouldn't register the chosen colors or either, it would just switch back to the old theme (even without having saved the one just created);

  • the font size of a theme shouldn't impact the font size of the niagara app itself, as that should be set by the phone’s settings instead (i.e. font size 120% is fine for some fonts in the app list, but way too big in Niagara's app settings);

  • icon pack chosen for a theme should have the option to be saved within a theme itself, as the opposite works against the concept of creating a new theme. Pop up folders and favourite apps pertaining to a particular theme would also be appreciated.

  • When choosing icons from an icon pack, going back returns to the home screen instead of showing the icon packs again;

  • the ability to hide pop up folders without deleting them, kind of putting them in an “archive” of sorts.

Thanks anyway for your work.

    Thanks, there are several ideas in here: changing or repositioning the wallpaper without a new theme, saving icon packs, folders and favorites per theme, keeping the font size of Niagara's settings separate from the theme, and archiving pop-up folders. Could you split them into one post each? We work through requests by upvotes, and a bundle can only collect votes as a whole, so each idea does better on its own (How To Request a Feature).

    Good news on the wallpaper part: changing the wallpaper of an existing theme is already Planned here, Edit theme doesn't have option to change wallpaper. Upvoting it gets you notified when its status changes.

    The two bugs (a new theme not keeping its colors or switching back to the old one, and Back in the icon picker landing on the home screen) are best posted on the Bug Reports board, where the form asks for your device, Android and Niagara version.
