- This option is checked by default as graphics software are often

- the theme colors (no theme and icon theme tweaking anymore to end up
- with dark on dark or light on light interfaces), except for color
- elements whose SVG style is marked as "!important".

- Image display rendered faster with a render cache that keeps the
result of scaling, color management, display filters and shell mask
(for tools like fuzzy select).
