The icons are being tweaked before release. The problem with the
checkboxes is that they look different on every platform and it's not
as clear that they are visibility controls -- normally checkboxes are
for enabling/disabling things.

This only turns it off when viewing the board, correct? It will
still be included in the plot output if the actual text is marked
"Show" in the dialog.
Yes
We could have the Footprint Text control act as a visual
override for the Values and References controls to make this
more clear...
Can we link these controls so that changing the "Footprint Text"
visibility changes the "references" and "values" visibility, but
those two can still be changed separately? (e.g. to allow showing
only the references text from footprints).
That's what I was proposing
