@xmunk@Sprite If your design rules emphasize contrast, it would be poorer design to highlight both buttons and it’s not in the colour palette to have a ‘mild’ highlighting like Windows used to have (I think some KDE desktop themes do this too) that suggests which button is the accept button, but doesn’t give the other ones zero highlighting.
Just check with your target areas jurisdiction first. At least in Germany your suggestion is considered illegal practice (I‘m unsure regarding the rest of the EU). Here, two uniform yes and no buttons are required to make an informed decision, according to courts (no suggestive design and no inconvenient hiding of the decline button are allowed). The reasoning is that if a user just clicks the highlighted button by muscle memory or convenience this cannot be considered valid consent.
God, I hope we can find a proper and widespread browser based solution to consent management soon.
@Tarte That’s a great court decision and I love how they understand that’s not valid consent!
In the case of a popup or yes/no decision, it makes sense to have two equally highlighted buttons, but I don’t think a *slight* highlighting is too much of an issue. The total contrast should be less common though. @Sprite@xmunk
