Description

### Description

Since I selected the option to change the wallpaper in dark mode, I have the issue that the wallpaper gets lost as soon as I switch to my 2nd monitor (smart tv). I have a dedicated graphics card.

### Expected Behavior

The wallpaper should just stay the same.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached config.yaml and service.log, then reproduce the issue by enabling wallpaper changes in dark mode and switching to the second monitor. Trace the wallpaper handling around monitor changes and verify that the wallpaper remains visible instead of becoming black.
