minus-squarePotatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up40arrow-down2·edit-26 months agoHonestly I think this is awful. Good UX explains the actions without having to use a legend to decipher it. Triangle is bleach? Circle square is tumble dry?

minus-squareGork@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11arrow-down1·6 months agoDry Flat makes sense. As does the Iron symbol. But yeah some of the others aren’t as clear.
minus-squareFlughoernchen@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·edit-26 months agoTbf the square could very well be a stylized tumble dryer, and in 90% of the clothes I own the temperatures are indicated by writing instead of dots. Also a normal user wouldn’t need to know about bleach or dry clean.
