Potentially, but unfortunately there are issues with both of these particular ones IMHO: - I don't think "Cycling" is a particularly helpful term, but I can't think of anything better either. - The "Matching Options" header seems a bit redundant when both the checkboxes start with "match" anyway, but again I can't think of anything notably better. FWIW, we also generally try not to use the word Options (or Settings, or any other synonyms than Properties or Preferences). If we can nail down these terminology issues (or nobody else cares), I have no problem with the new design.
