If you’re genuinely asking… the yes option. But that is indeed a shitty ass UI.
My answer comes from the “thumb print” effect - that radial shadow pattern is supposed to remind the user of their finger partially blocking the light on an illuminated button.
I think the radial shadow pattern is actually supposed to evoke the edges of the hollow in which the button is depressed, but otherwise I agree with you 100%.
Also the “no” has the yellow reflection from the graphic above, implying its projecting out.
✨affordances!✨
You should post this in the group assholedesign. This is genuinely so bad it’s infuriating.
Kind of more crappydesign than assholedesign, but yes.
Really? Literally everyone in this thread figured it correctly as yes. So it’s really not that bad.
I didnt
Alright I’ll reiterate my statement to exclude people who are literally blind.
Well that was unnecessary. Maybe go back to reddit
Welcome to the Internet
I was on the Internet before the www existed. Quit excusing your shitty behaviour
No you weren’t.
Good UI is severely underrated, and it makes you somehow feel dumb when it’s bad.
“yes” is selected, it looks pressed in
Are you sure you want to cancel?

How anyone developing an interface thinks that is a good idea is beyond me, but I am convinced they are doing multiple lines every morning.
To me is the yes since it has a different color than the window it comes in.
The one that always gets me is GNOME’s screen sharing portal.
There is this outline around the “Application Window” tab which makes it seem selected. I use this UI multiple times a week and I need to pause for a sec every single time. I always think “I want to share a window”, “oh it is already selected” then stare at the monitors for a while before I realize why I can’t understand what I am looking at.
If they did the exact opposite of this, I think it would look ok. If I was trying to fix this, I would probably just swap the styles of the selected and deselected states. Maybe it’s a miscommunication between designers and implementers, causing the meanings to be swapped?
I don’t think it is that simple. I think that outline is about the “focus”. So if I press enter it will activate that tab, if I press tab it will move the focus to the “Entire Screen” tab.
The UX issue is that there are two concepts of focus in this UI. There is “which tab is active” and “what UI element will pressing enter activate”. These two are not sufficiently differentiated which leads to a confusing experience.
Or maybe there can just be no keyboard focus indicator by default, but that may be annoying for keyboard power users. But this is generally how it works on the web, you have to press tab once to move keyboard focus to the first interactive element.
Right, that makes sense as well. What I was thinking is that the use of the accent colour shows which one is active, though it would probably be less confusing if this wasn’t done with an outline. See the KDE version for example:
Regarding keyboard navigation, I could see this working similarly to radio buttons, where the tab key selects the entire tab group, and tabs need to be navigated using the arrow keys. In this case I think it makes sense to put the focus border around only the selected option, and having the focus border follow the selected option when arrow keys are used. If this is the case, I think swapping the current version does make sense.
Yeah. I like old school tabs that were clearly attached to the thing that they switched. I definitely prefer the KDE UX here.
Sadly KDE is also trying out the “modern” style tabs in some places too:
Easy, you just press right and see if the option moves.
Oh wait that just toggles between them. I’ve never used whatever this is, but you know it does.
Actually I had to guess as to the correct answer was. I guessed wrong and the movie started over
It’s been at least 3 hours now. Which was it?
I had the yes set to white and the movie started over.
Oh no! Guessing you wanted to resume?
Yup. But at least I had set a bookmark. Although the interface for selecting a bookmark isn’t any better.
I hate those widgets! I’ve had this exact problem many times before
I’d say yes, but I did have to look at it closely. Plus the assumption that it would probably default to continuing.
It looks like the ui designer didn’t know how scaling works for images
