Hatch settings

In the traditional hatch pattern dialogue box is there a way to change the island detection default to normal?

In the Ribbon it's under Options drop-down, as I remember in the old dialogue box there was a > on the right side to expand for extra options. Haven't seen that in quite a while though.
