Say I have some state which the user can toggle, for example [ON] | [OFF] .
Typically, I use ONE switch (BUTTON) and when the thing is ON, the user sees:
LIGHT IS [ON]
When it is OFF they see
LIGHT IS [OFF]
My question is: is it obvious (sensible) that one should click [ON] to turn the light [OFF]?
How do you do it? Any thoughts or ideas appreciated.
I would use a label and an button to show the action.
Light is On – Switch Off?
Clicking that would change both the label and the button to:
Light is Off – Switch On?
This solution clearly states the status and the action available.
