Wallpaper reverting to something else periodically

Bug Reports

I have recently started experiencing this and am stumped. I have the background set to the Carbon gradient and it periodically switches itself to the default blue shapes one. I can't work out when this is happening but notice it often when unlocking. This started maybe five days ago

    It seems this issue has to do with an Android update for Fairphone. A workaround for now seems to be to have different images for the lockscreen and the wallpaper. See this entry on their forum for more info:

    I have exactly the same issue (on a Fairphone 5, Android 15). It doesn't matter how I change the wallpaper (different themes or just a different background), it always reverts the default blue shapes. For me it started around the same time I choose a different theme for the first time a few weeks ago (but that could be a coincidence).

    I hope it can be fixed, I love Niagara (as well as the pro functionality) but I’d very much like to be able to change the background :)
