Then we are in full agreement. My goal was always to move all application 
colour configuration to central classes that handle everything comfortably 
and reliably.

And you have convinced me that "KColorScheme::strict()" is a bad name.
How about naming it "KColorScheme::noBackgroundImagesByDefault()" 
or "KColorScheme::defaultToPlainBackground()"?

In the user interface, we would still name it
"Strict Mode: Only use these colors by default" (which is the result of very 
long usability discussions).
