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.
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.
“yes” is selected, it looks pressed in
Are you sure you want to cancel?
- Cancel
- Continue
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.
Good UI is severely underrated, and it makes you somehow feel dumb when it’s bad.
Not a great UI but honestly the yes looks pressed in the 3d meaning of the word.
So it’s not terrible
Funny. I thought the No was selected
I think that might be because modern UI tends to move away from 3d and insted highlights the selected button (making it lighter in color)
Yeah I think that’s the problem here. Older uis leant into the faux 3d thing whereas modern designs are mostly flat/minimal
Bring back skeumorphism
Oh god no! =)
To me is the yes since it has a different color than the window it comes in.
The “yes” is selected.
Press left. If nothing changes, then Yes is selected.
You’d be surprised how many shitty UIs x-wrap navigation when there are only two options.
Is the play here to always make sure there are at least three options anywhere?
Sadly keep pressing left they just cycle back and forth
Fucking of course. Leave it to such a dev to ensure no logical method can work the problem.
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

I hate those widgets! I’ve had this exact problem many times before
It looks like the ui designer didn’t know how scaling works for images
I’d say yes, but I did have to look at it closely. Plus the assumption that it would probably default to continuing.
I think we need to know what the UI looks like before a selection has been made, or what it looks like when the curser is over each option. The ‘interface’ part is lost by a single screen shot.
When you’re not using a pointer interface (mouse or, awkwardly, wii-mote) it’s extremely rare for the UI to ever be in a neutral (nothing selected) state. Since you’d always be navigating relatively (go right, down, up, or left) instead of absolutely (go to pixel 753x1034) there always must be some point of reference for that movement.
Once in a blue moon you’ll see a menu where your initial selected position is something like “before the first item” so when you press right in a horizontal selector you actually move from nothing selected to the first thing selected and it’s almost always a terrible UX. If you set up such an interface you’re accepting that every action will require an extra useless click and that users entering the state freshly (i.e. you reach this screen then walk away and your partner is the next person to see it) will be confused about where in the action they are. You’re also accepting responsibility for what will happen if the user confirms without ever actually making a selection which will usually require some (again, utterly unnecessary) dialog box asking the user to try again but this time actually select an action.
Relative navigation having a neutral/unselected state is almost always a mistake.
No selection was made by me. It showed up with one of them being white and one being black. Can’t remember which side was which. But keep pressing left on the remote and they just cycle back and forth. This is on a bluray player.
