Suggestion: Make the Pride Flag background in config screen configurable

Hello @LambdAurora,
First, I want to thank you for your work on LambDynamicLights - it's a fantastic mod that many in the community appreciate and enjoy using.
I'm writing to respectfully suggest making the Pride Flag background in the configuration screen optional through a config setting. I understand and respect that this is an important expression of your identity, as clearly stated in your code comments. However, I believe making this configurable would benefit the wider community for several reasons:
1. Respect for User Choice and Autonomy
Many users feel that their personal gaming environment should remain under their control. While the Pride Flag is a positive symbol for inclusion, forcing any display - regardless of its nature - can feel intrusive to some players who value having control over what they see in their game.
2. Preventing a Concerning Precedent
If this practice becomes common, it could set a precedent where mod authors feel entitled to force-display any content (political, religious, commercial, etc.) with anti-tampering measures. This could fundamentally change the open and customizable nature of the modding ecosystem that we all value.
3. Reducing Unnecessary Conflict
The current implementation has already sparked attempts to create workaround mods, leading to a technological "arms race" that diverts energy from constructive development. A simple config option would respect your expression while avoiding these conflicts.
4. Inclusivity Through Choice
Making the display optional would allow players from all backgrounds to enjoy LambDynamicLights without feeling that their personal space is being used to display content they cannot control. True inclusivity means respecting different perspectives while maintaining the core message.
I'm not suggesting removing the Pride Flag entirely - it could remain as the default setting. I'm only asking for a configuration option that respects diverse user preferences while still supporting your right to express your identity.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. I believe this small compromise would strengthen community trust and set a positive example for how personal expression and user choice can coexist respectfully in our modding community.
