In the dark and orange color scheme, the yes/no buttons are hard to distinguish (whether they are highlighted "pushed" or not). The system color scheme is better.

An update is coming out next week that includes an improvement in this area. Let me know if you think it still needs work.

MyStuff2 v1.1 has a small change to make the selected value clearer.

I know this was discussed some time ago but I feel that the yes/no colors still don't stand out enough. Would you consider using a bold green font for the selected button instead of the yellow? Just a thought.

Which color scheme and which iOS device are you using? I don't think bold green over dark orange will work very well. Too little contrast.

The yellow really stands out on the iPhone with the System (blue) and Dark color schemes. And it works fairly well with the Orange. On the iPad with the System (gray) color scheme blue is used instead of yellow and it works well.

I'm open to suggestions though. Feel free to whip some examples up in your favorite image editing software and post some sample alternatives.

Thanks.

I am using an iPad with the "Orange" color scheme. I have tinkered with the colors and agree with you the bold green with dark orange didn't work well so I changed the color of the selected button to green with black letters. Attached for your consideration is a screen capture with the modification.

Thanks for your input. While the green sure has a lot of contrast I have to admit I'm not too fond of the color combination.

Please see MyStuff2 2.0 for a greatly improved Yes/No attribute (now called a Toggle attribute).
