Also, if you pause the wallpaper, the previous wallpaper setting remains.

Checklist

  • This PR is ready for review, or it is marked as Draft.
  • I self-reviewed the changes.
  • I added or updated translations/en.json, or this PR adds no new user-facing strings.
  • I did not edit non-English translation files unless this PR is explicitly for translation tooling, an import/export sync, or a maintainer-requested locale change.

Additional Notes

These are simple changes to how the wallpaper is set; they shouldn't affect normal operation.

And this is mainly intended to set the color palette, since the thumbnail has a lower resolution.
