Since upgrading to GNOME 42 the wallpaper no longer changes/rotates. If one defines a Appearance > Style within GNOME Settings only the default wallpaper is displayed when selecting the style "Dark".

I ran a test to set the desktop wallpaper manually in the terminal as follows. No error was returned, yet the wallpaper did not change. New desktop wallpaper setting value indeed changes.

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file://home/adam/Pictures/wallpaper/wallhaven-48m6wo_3840x2160.png"
$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri
'file://home/adam/Pictures/wallpaper/wallhaven-48m6wo_3840x2160.png'

After some play around it appears there is two locations now in which a desktop wallpaper is set depending on the user's setting for Appearance Style.

GNOME Settings > Appearance > Style > Light
Wallpaper value is stored at "org/gnome/desktop/background/picture-uri".

GNOME Settings > Appearance > Style > Dark
Wallpaper value is stored at "org/gnome/desktop/background/picture-uri-dark".

Wallpaperctrl must now detect the appearance style (color scheme) to determine which key value setting to change in order to rotate the desktop wallpaper in GNOME 42.

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme
'default'

Acceptable values for "org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme"

$ gsettings range org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme
enum
'default'
'prefer-dark'
'prefer-light'
