Description

Many settings in RetroArch aren't shown until another setting is enabled. This is confusing because there's no indication that they depend on the other setting. To visually set them apart they should be indented.
Here you can see how settings like this work on the Switch:

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating Ozone's settings-menu rendering and the logic that determines when settings are hidden by another setting; compare the current layout with the linked Switch example. Done means dependent settings are visibly indented wherever this behavior applies, without changing their visibility or setting behavior.
