Title:
[indicators] flight mode use of x and check mark is counterintuitive
Status in Ubuntu UX:
Triaged
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. 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.)
