They&#8217;re a good choice when you want to allow users to switch settings on and off, like enabling or disabling Airplane Mode, for example. They&#8217;re also the preferred choice for adjusting system settings on mobile because they take up less space than two radio buttons, and don&#8217;t force a default value like &#8216;Yes&#8217; or &#8216;No&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The word toggle comes from the 18th century meaning &#8220;pin passed transversely through the bight or eye of a rope to fasten it round a stay, mast, etc.&#8221; Today, we also use it figuratively to describe switching back and forth between settings or programs, as in video chatting with two friends at once while toggling between screens.<\/p>\n<p>When designing toggles, be sure to provide clear labels that communicate what the switch controls, as well as its current state. Toggle switches that don&#8217;t clearly distinguish their states from each other perform worse than those that do.<\/p>\n<p>The best visual cues for a toggle&#8217;s current state are size and color. We found that a darker, more saturated color works best to make it obvious which option is currently active, while font size can also be effective if used appropriately (i.e., don&#8217;t set a font size that&#8217;s hard to read). Embossment was unreliable as a main cue, and should be used in conjunction with other visual signals.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A toggle is a control that lets people manage the<a href=\"https:\/\/rushfordgatheringspace.com\/index.php\/2024\/02\/04\/what-is-a-toggle-58\/\">Read More<i class=\"fa fa-long-arrow-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What Is a Toggle?
