Theme color does not update from wallpaper on Samsung Galaxy M06 5G

The automatic theme color extraction from the wallpaper does not appear to work on a Samsung Galaxy M06 5G.

The user reports that Niagara’s theme colors do not change automatically when the wallpaper is changed, even though “Wallpaper and System” is selected as the theme color source.

The user also owns a Samsung Galaxy M14 5G, where the same feature works correctly.

Additionally, Niagara displays a “Can’t Show Wallpaper” message in the theme preview on the affected Galaxy M06 5G.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Set or change the device wallpaper.

  2. Open Niagara Settings → Themes → Edit Current Theme.

  3. Open Theme colour.

  4. Select “Wallpaper and System”.

  5. Return to Niagara.

  6. Observe that the theme colors do not adapt to the wallpaper.

Expected behavior

When “Wallpaper and System” is selected, Niagara should use colors extracted from the current wallpaper.

Actual behavior

According to the user, Niagara’s theme colors remain unchanged after changing the wallpaper.

The attached screenshots confirm that “Wallpaper and System” is selected and also show the additional “Can’t Show Wallpaper” message. The screenshots do not directly show the wallpaper color change itself.

Additional information

The same user reports that automatic wallpaper-based theme colors work correctly on their Samsung Galaxy M14 5G.
