On the new wallpaper picker, clicking on each thumbnail will start a 'full-screen' preview mode, and user will be able to choose to either confirm the choice (which automatically close the app), or cancel preview (which reverts back to whatever the previous wallpaper is).
A mock is at: https://goo.gl/pX54ph
There's no way for user to one-click set user wallpaper on the new picker. User has to go through the preview process.
