alt Hacker NewsOne of my big beefs with modern UI is two-state controls where it's impossible to determine what the current state actually is. Like a button that says "Music Off" where it's unclear if that means the music is CURRENTLY off, or if clicking the button turns it off.

Similarly, I can’t tell which state the control is in until I touch it.
Yep the best example. Especially if the result is not immediately obvious. Am I commanding "system on" or are you telling me "system on"
