Apply color conversion for Windows Light Theme.

Using this option, when generating Windows Light Theme specific assets (with the alternate form resource qualifier: "altform-lightunplated"), the white pixels will be converted to black pixels.

Delete previous assets

This option deletes all previous assets before generating new ones. For example, if you generate images for a specific group of assets and use this option, the other images will be removed before generating.

Using this option, the assets that become unused after generating new assets with the same attribute names and scales, but with a different app id, are deleted. This only applies if these assets are not used by another application.
