The UI-Option "Show flavours" what does it exactly do, i was not able to notice any difference until now, regardless how i set it.

It means you get the still get the description of items as well as their actual identified nature.
So the difference between eg:
a Cyan Potion of Berserk Strength
vs
a Potion of Berserk Strength -
It shows you the flavour of ID'd items - so, rather than a staff of speed, you might have a locust staff of speed.Comment

I've always turned this option off immediately, but I notice PowerWyrm leaves it on. What is the benefit?“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

Doesn't the game randomize the flavors each time you start? If so, remembering the flavors/colors would give false information. Unlike keystrokes, like m1a, being automatic, I don't want "muscle memory" automatically leading me astray if, for example, I remember that light cyan is CCW, but that was actually my last game and now it's !Poison.“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school.

It does randomize them, yes, but I was thinking more over the course of a single game, not across games. In any event since you can always just 'l'ook at potions to see what they are, it's not a big deal.
In the old days all potions were cyan regardless of what flavor they were. Similarly all staves were brown. I don't remember what color wands, rings, and amulets were, but I'm pretty sure they didn't vary by flavor.Comment
