@sfkpmr may i ask where you changed these settings?
If this was in the web-vault, then those are stored in the local storage/cookies of the browser, and thus if you clear that, or change hosts, or use a different browser, then those settings will not be there. Same for the web-vault theme for example.

@BlackDex Yes, I changed the settings at /#/settings/preferences in the web UI.

So, is there no way of setting this permanently?

I found this, can I set DISABLE_ICON_DOWNLOAD=false as an environment variable? Or true in my case.

Yes, that will prevent at least trying to fetch those icons. It will not prevent the clients from requesting them to download, and thus those requests will still end up into the reverse proxy logs.

But they will not be cached or stored locally.
