I've had a look around and found:
Apps with checkmark and fixed item label:
- Deskbar's "Show replicants"
- ShowImage's "Show toolbar" and "Show caption in full screen mode"
- MediaPlayer's "Hide interface"
- CharacterMap's "Show private blocks"
- ProcessController's "Live in Deskbar"
Apps without checkmark, with changing item label:
- Expander's "Show|Hide contents"
- ActivityMonitor's "SHow|Hide legend"
I think we have it right for the majority of them: fixed item label,
toggled with a checkmark. It's easier to document and you don't have
to mentally adjust to a changing label. The checkmark is a widely used
symbol showing an active feature.
If you all agree, I file a ticket to change Expander and
ActivityMonitor (and what else might crop up).
