You will find this in the upcoming release. I have worked on this many
times in the past but have had to abandon it due to the considerable
overhead of re-drawing the menus each toggle. (Just to give you an
idea of the slowness, more than 50% of Cream's startup time is devoted
to simply drawing the menu and toolbar!)

However, recently I've had several breakthroughs to accomplish this
for Preferences, and tonight realized I could (painfully) modularize
each menu item so that a toggle doesn't have to refresh the whole
menu. The result is a simple checkmark (or "x" on Windows) before
items that are toggled on.
