| Apr 8, 2021 at 18:15 | comment | added | Socob | There’s also a localization issue here: In some countries, such as Sweden or Finland, a tick/check mark (✓) can mean “incorrect”/“wrong”, which is of course completely different from the common meaning of “yes“/“correct” in other countries. | |

| Apr 8, 2021 at 9:35 | comment | added | Big_Chair | Also, icons only are sometimes a bit confusing. Maybe writing out Yes and No would be beneficial. In terms of neutrality they literally look the same, which might even be a hinderance because I can't tell what's yes and what's no on first glance and have to think first. | |
| Apr 8, 2021 at 9:33 | comment | added | Big_Chair | They just look unnecessarily big, it makes it hard to recognize the options in one glance. If they were smaller and a bit further apart, it would already be much more familiar for the eye (because we know it from other software). Then a quick decision is possible. | |
