Red is stop, white is start in black and white mode, green is start in color mode.

Pretty easy to figure out huh? The poster must be a dum dum

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It would also be "easy to figure out" if each button had a different color and there was a table of what each color did. Neither design is good, though. No one should have to "figure out" what such a simple set of buttons does

The problems with it are so apparent, defending it makes me think you just wanted to argue about something today lol

Start black and start color?

[-] hakase@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

This is the correct answer. There's even a slight plastic indentation to let the user know that both of the buttons in question are "start" buttons.

I think the design is fine.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 months ago

That's also how I saw it. Nonetheless, that's really poor design.

Technology Connections would say: Read the manual.

A few of you mentioned the "indent" - I never even saw it until I zoomed way in on the photo I took after you mentioned it. I can't even see it in person. My vision isn't great, but I think that suggests even more strongly a bad design.

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

You shouldn't need an indent to make it clear what all the buttons do lol

Terrible design.

[-] thezeesystem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Completely valid as accessibility is extremely important and not having it accessible for people with poor vision automatically makes it a bad design

Indeed, it's terrible. And the button on the far right is for toggling wifi.
