[Touch-packages] [Bug 1385423] Re: [indicators] flight mode use of x and check mark is counterintuitive
** Description changed: Every time I look at the flight mode status on my phone, it takes me an extra second to understand the current state. Flight mode is on, and shows a green check box, when the network is disabled; and flight mode is off, showing a black and white X, when the network is enabled. This mental negation costs cognitive effort to decipher, because it's using the same symbols as the individual services (wifi, gps, bluetooth...) with an opposite meaning. I'm not a designer, but my suggestion would be to use different symbols for on/off than are used elsewhere in the UI. (The other possibility would be to change the name of the setting to give it an opposite sense; I don't suggest doing this because Flight mode is a well-known name for the functionality.) + + -- + + Desired resolution: We have a new SDK toggle component which will + address this issue. However the style is different from the Indicator UI + so this will be actioned once we start on the overall design project + since it can't be fixed as a single bug. There is no Epic Project Card + as far as I am aware. ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Status: Triaged = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-network in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385423 Title: [indicators] flight mode use of x and check mark is counterintuitive Status in Ubuntu UX: Fix Released Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Every time I look at the flight mode status on my phone, it takes me an extra second to understand the current state.
