Let's face it, everyone gets a little theme-happy sometimes. We download a new wallpaper with all the bells and whistles, unicorns frolicking in a rainbow forest, and then...well, it just gets old. Maybe a little too old. We start longing for the simpler times of, you know, a calming beige.

Step into the Settings Arena
Every phone is a battlefield, and your settings app is your trusty steed. Boldly venture forth and open it.
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.

Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
Important Note: While deleting the theme wallpaper is usually easy, some built-in system themes might be undeletable. In that case, you can still change it to something else!
