is there anyway that we can have options in Settings not available?

For example:

option 1: yes/no

option 2: if option 1 equals yes, then enable to change this option or show this option, if option 1 = no, then disable setting this option

I don't think this is possible at the moment, what if you just let all the settings available and disregard the non needed ones at layout level?

Sometimes wording is everything. I meant the Setting in a theme layout.  Would be a great feature.

Zapaolo’s theme is good example of a way to organize text to be more organized. Maybe it help you.

As keilmillerjr mentioned, I've a quite extensive list of options on my theme so I organized them as you can see in the screenshot atached. I use a "header" line (like "Thumbnails" or "Background") which is just that, a header, but you can bind an option to that too. I think if you layout your preferences like this:

Code: [Select]
PARENT OPTION          (YES/NO)
   Child option 1      (OPTION)
   Child option 2      (OPTION)

it will be quite clear that the child options are "meaningful" only if the parent option is enabled, even if visually you can't hide them.
