Glad you like it and thanks! There's been many feature requests over the years of that nature so I am glad they address the same pain points of multiple people.

As can be found in/values/themes.xml line 119, the accent color is one of the automatically extracted material you colors. Therefore you could change your wallpaper to change the color but I haven't got any plans to change the material you color used. However I don't use light mode and perhaps it is bad - in that case a change may perhaps be in order.

Thank you for your answer. I uploaded a screenshot to Imgur of what it looks like on my screen [0].

Unfortunately I am running Android 9 and this automatically picking color feature doesn't seem to really work since my background is just black with a few blue dots. Not sure about that I am not really into the Android Game.

Oh I see, yeah on Android 9 you are getting a fallback color for when automatic theming is not available. I would recommend using the regular light theme as this has a green accent which I think is nicer on the eyes. I'll add a note to change to light material you fallback color because that does not look nice.
