The icon classes used for switches on the plugin page are inverted and it is quite confusing for the newcomers.
I talk about those switches
in /conf/_icons.php it should be like this (lines 610 to 623)
case 'activate': return array(
'alt' => /* TRANS: Short for "Activate(d)" */ T_('Act.'),
'legend' => T_('Activate'),
'size' => array( 16, 16 ),
'xy' => array( 64, 96 ),
'fa' => 'toggle-off'
);
case 'deactivate': return array(
'alt' => /* TRANS: Short for "Deactivate(d)" */ T_('Deact.'),
'legend' => T_('Deactivate'),
'size' => array( 16, 16 ),
'xy' => array( 80, 96 ),
'fa' => 'toggle-on'
);
and it will look like

The icons now show the current state. Mind you, we had them the other way round at some point, and some other users told us it was confusing...

I'd like to talk to those other users :) Can't recall any use of inverted switches in web and in native smartphone apps during past 5 years (at least).
There are some official guidelines, if there is someone still not convinced

Looks good to me, but be better in green :)

There's the green 'traffic light' to the left which is clickable and shows the status, so why bother with a switch to the right?
7 dm Oct 01, 2018 13:08
because switch is to enable/disable, and traffic light is to show status? :)

What I mean is that when clicking on the the traffic light it effects the switch and enables and disables the plugin also, so why another switch? I don't get it.

This is not only visually backwards from what an user would expect, but it's the opposite of what's being used on the collection "Widget" screen. So b2evolution isn't even being consistent with itself.

Yeap! That's the argument :)

meh. here's a fix for consistency:

Yes it does seem a bit confusing :)
Dark and light, maybe red and greed ? but then there is the green button to the left ???
