High rate of accessing a background file

[sanyer]

Describe the bug
Process Monitor shows that this process is accessing background image a lot.
I'm actually not sure that it is accessing the disk each time as the System Informer shows that Disk I/O is just couple of KBs (presumably the size of the image)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run software
2. Check System Informer for the high I/O rate
3. Check Process Monitor for the fact of accessing background file

Expected behavior
Not accessing the file dozens of times per second.

Hello! Thanks for raising this issue, I agree this behavior is not optimal. It would be better to load the picture only once in memory for the lifetime of the program.
Some themes use different background pictures depending on the elements to display e.g. https://github.com/mathoudebine/turing-smart-screen-python/blob/main/res/themes/Landscape6Grid/theme.yaml uses background.png and background_empty_dark.png. This should be taken into account when fixing this bug

@mathoudebine yeah, I'm using theme Cyberpunk and also see file generale-mono/GeneraleMonoA.ttf being accessed around 100 times per second:
