Page Layout Editor: View > Background White toggle breaks colour theme

Description

"Background White" toggle option in menubar choses the currently loaded theme.

If no one objects, I can submit a MR to remove this option since I believe the new colour theme stuff renders this obsolete.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open PL Editor
  2. Load a non-default theme with a different background colour (e.g. Solarized Dark from https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-color-schemes)
  3. Observe theme background colour.
  4. Toggle View > Background White option in menubar.
