The new toggle checkboxes must be adjusted to be accessible for colorblind people
100%
Description
at the moment it is not possible for colorblind people to decide which state a toggle checkbox has.
For a colorblind person, both states looks identical, one has the a white dot on the left, the other one on the right, but which state it is? on or off?

The following version would work for people with red/green deficit, but an additional label for special context, could also be helpful.

would there be enough space inside the toggle to add a label?
maybe something like this?

I like this idea by Luis, if it's possible to implement and the text would not be too small. On second thought, you probably don't want more icons so it's better to use the one without text with the checkmark / x or some other symbol.
Please also see the other issues I added, because they are related and also would improve usability.

i just made a couple of quick toggle button examples on codepen.
Nothing definitive, just so we can try it out and see how it feels.
Updated by Sybille Peters over 6 years ago
Nice work Luis. Personally I prefer the ones that keep the current look and feel (because it looks nice, I also like the round edges) and adds text.
So that would be: number 8, 10 and 11. 11 being my favorite.
But I guess we should wait for the UI people to see what they say?
And unfortunately, adding the text will be more work with the translations.

i am unsure on how to change the checkboxes. where can i see the checkboxes in the backend? which files should i edit?
So i was snooping around the backend to see what i could find and i saw this (on the List Module):
How do you feel about having a different kind of checkbox inside the buttons (kind of like a "checkbox icon").
Should we just leave this one like it is and change the normal checkboxes so they have a label next to them?
Updated by Sybille Peters over 6 years ago
I still think having text within the icons would be a problem because then you would need different icons for each language.
A solution that makes clear what is enabled / disabled without using an unaccessible color scheme and / or text next to the label is what I would prefer.
Updated by Riccardo De Contardi over 6 years ago
these kind of switches should always have a on/off label inside or a label on the side that switches between enabled/disabled text.
[personal opinion, not suffragated by facts]: I guess that on/off are enough "international" and commonly used worldwide,so that they do not need a translation at all.
Also about the switch on the list module, where there is not enough space for a label: The title/tooltip of the icon should communicate its status as well. Not immediate, but works.
Updated by Luis Pato over 6 years ago
The idea of displaying the state on the tooltip is nice, but i'm not sure it will work on touch devices.
I think i would need some help finding the right files inside of TYPO3 where to edit the toggle. Anyone wants to help me? :D
