I just find it unclear at the moment and thought I'd mention it.
As Jon says things will change before release so I'll wait till then.

I sympathise with the issue. How about the 'hidden' state is like the
current hidden icon but about 1/2 the current height, so almost a
horizontal line?

The thing is, the difference between on and off is eyelashes +
contrast. Depending on the display that can be pretty hard to
differentiate.

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.

"Footprint Text" off turns off all footprint text, including

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
