Research direction
Investigate the user settings persistence for the 'randomIcons' feature in the Focalboard Windows app. Check the Electron main process or renderer settings file (likely in `src/electron/` or `src/store/`) and compare with the fix in similar issue #375. Ensure the setting is saved both when toggled and on app exit, and loaded on startup. Test on Windows to verify the fix.
