I repeatedly wonder wher the toggle switch comes into play here. Is it more intuitive than a on/off checkbox? Often these things still only have one label (and not one for each state), so where’s the difference?
Any opinions here?
With the wrong color scheme its really hard to know if its' ON or OFF
And some people are color blind
~~The background (green in the image) is usually a darker shade than the knob. That’s how you can tell the moving thing apart from the depressed background even if you’re color blind.~~
Edit: Just realized that that wasn’t the point… Thanks, downvoters!
Whatever the colour scheme. Because you're not in the designer's mind. Unless they add redundant text, there's just no way to tell.
I fucking hate those things.
