The point for an app developer would be:
Before: I set on one place, every button will show images
After: I have to go through all my code, looking for buttons to set the
option, and worst, If I want to make it an option for my user, I have to
recreate the settings scheme in my application.

You certainly can see this when we are talking of huge application like
