Confusing design choice for power settings
Hi, I'm new to Linux. I'm a UX designer learning to code. I want to try and give back to the community. I know this also might be perceived as more of a hassle than a help, but I thought I should log a bug, or an issue of some kind with a UI issue that I noticed today in the power settings menu for Gnome Shell.
To me the UI switches here are confusing. It makes sense that the wifi is on when the switch for wifi is on, and that the bluetooth is on when the switch for bluetooth is on, BUT the wording underneath this makes it confusing. I think of switching "on" something as confirming it. To say "turn off Wifi to save power" makes me think that turning on the switch will turn off wifi. Specifically it seemed to indicate to me through it's wording as you were turning on some kind of dynamic or adaptive state that wouldn't turn off the wifi, but would rather turn off the wifi based on whether or not you were using it.
It seems to me sufficient to just put the wifi and switch, and understand that switching it will turn it off and on. Adding the extra words in there only create possible confusion and even imply possible functionality that doesn't exist.
At least in my view. I've not done any empirical study of this and I'm sure that language etc would greatly change the way one would interpret it, but I do think it's probably a good idea to go with less than more.
