App Dev Worksheet: Button Size and Contrast

App development lesson 12: Buttons: size and contrast · Set 196 · 40 questions

Developer's tip (Big and bold): Our rule: every button is at least 48 px tall. Missing px = 48 − height. Leave space between buttons; use clear words like Save or Send. Strong contrast (black on yellow, white on dark green) is easy to read; similar colours are hard.
