How can I kill or refresh Desktop Wallpaper with a Terminal command?
You could try restarting dock
which, amongst many things, draws the wallpaper on the desktop. But be careful; as dock
also controls a lot of window management apps may 'un-minimise' or un-hide and windows. As dock
also controls Mission Control, you won't be able to change spaces or go into Mission Control until dock
restarts again (which is mostly instantly).
From terminal, try:
killall Dock
