Research direction

Start by locating the home screen and app list theme handling and how the launcher supplies its default background when no wallpaper is set. Reproduce the reported blur with daily wallpaper disabled, then compare the light theme with the dark theme's default background behavior. Done means the home screen and app list remain readable in light theme without a wallpaper.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I don't like to use any wallpaper as, it suits minimal launcher style with no extra distraction. Just Olauncher's default black bg on Dark theme. (New daily wallpaper off).

While changing to light theme, the home screen and app list becomes blurry mess.

I have tried force restarting the launcher, but the issue remained the same.

How to fix

Maybe add default white bg wallpaper for light theme, like default black bg for dark theme.

Thanks a lot for this wonderful app.
