Describe the bug

This is a minor bug.

I noticed that the app menu viewing preferences seem to be switched, showing icons when "Show as text" is selected and text when "Show as icons" is selected.

Steps to reproduce

Go to the app menu in the menu bar.
Click in Preferences.
Go to the App menu tab
In "General menu item style", select "Show as icons" or "Show as text".
Check the app menu in the menu bar again.

Expected behavior

The app shows icons when "Show as icons" is selected and text when "Show as text"is selected.

Anything else?

- Mac model: MacBook Pro M1 Pro (14-inch, 2021)
- MonitorControl version: v4.3.2

Thought so! 😅

Felt like trying to help and fix it myself, but data guy here, zero Swift experience. Better safe than sorry. 🫠
