Yes:
```julia
using GLMakie
# Create a figure with an image
fig = Figure(size=(600, 600))
ax = Axis(fig[1, 1])
# Display an image (you can use your own image)
test_img = rand(100, 100)
image!(ax, test_img)
# Create a single layout with both checkboxes side by side
gl = GridLayout(fig[1, 1], tellwidth=false, tellheight=false,
halign=:left, valign=:top)
# Add background box
box = Box(gl[1, 1:4], color=RGBAf(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.8), cornerradius=4)
# Add padding around the content
rowgap!(gl, 20)
# colgap!(gl, 20)
# First checkbox
toggle1 = Toggle(gl[1, 1], active=false)
label1 = Label(gl[1, 2], "Option 1", halign=:left, font=:bold, fontsize=18, color=:white)
toggle2 = Toggle(gl[1, 3], active=true)
label2 = Label(gl[1, 4], "Option 2", halign=:left, font=:bold, fontsize=18, color=:white)
# React to toggle changes
on(toggle1.active) do state
println("Toggle 1 is now: ", state)
end
on(toggle2.active) do state
println("Toggle 2 is now: ", state)
end
display(fig)
```
