I have a quick question about buttons that toggle between two states. (Think Play/Pause, or Shuffle/Regular Play.) As the title says, should the toggle show it's current state or the state to which...
I disagree. I think both the current state and the state it will change to should be clearly labeled.
Also - just because everyone is familiar with something doesn’t make it a good user experience. We’re used to play/pause but it’s honestly not very good.
Depends on what the purpose of the button is.
A setting should show the current state, but an action (referring to the play button example) should show the state it’ll transition to.
