Since themes were implemented in GNOME 42, pywal is no longer working as expected if you have the dark theme set. Only the colors on the terminal will change but the background will be left unchanged.
With the default theme (light), everything works as expected.
To reproduce: set light theme > run wal -i /path/to/wallpaper > terminal colors will change and match image and background will change as well
Set GNOME theme to dark > run wal -i /path/to/wallpaper > terminal colors will change but not the background image.
