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...
Again you’re talking about switches. The thread is about normal buttons which have 2 states (the example being given is a button which can be a play button or a pause button depending on the current state). Buttons aren’t like check-boxes, switches are. A button triggers an event, check-boxes don’t. e.g. on a settings page, you tick all the check-boxes you want first, then click on the Save (or Cancel) changes button - one event for multiple changes. You don’t tick a check-box to start playing something, you press a play button (which in this case would then change into a pause button).

Yeah you’re right. Didn’t see it was a crosspost and infered from the title.
That’s ok. Thanks for being big enough to admit you were wrong - these days a lot of people aren’t!
