Newest update has changed my wallpaper settings…

I got an update the other day where my text underneath my app icons turned from white black.

I found out from another thread that by switching out wallpapers will revert it back to normal.

I did this, and it worked, however…

Now my wallpaper appears a lot brighter than it was before.

The option to toggle on/off the “Dark Appearance Dims Wallpaper” is no longer under “Wallpaper” in “Settings”.

Im pretty sure I have dark appearance in (that was my default setting) and I can’t figure how to get back to that.

anyone else have this issue or know what to do?
