hi, I have some doubts about the human interface guidelines , im working on a UI lib, and we want that our switch be smaller tan yours. I fount that you wrote this ' Provide ample touch targets for interactive elements. Try to maintain a minimum tappable area of 44pt x 44pt for all controls.' . my question its, that tappable area should be visible ? can i have a trasparente view tappable and inside this my own smaller switch ?
size of custom component
My understanding is qualified YES.
- the tappable region should be 44*44 at least
- but the visible part of it could be smaller (not too small however, so that user can still understand it).
Note that HIG are guidelines, for the good of all, not strict requirements.
PS: is your question to Apple ? If so, the forum is not the best place to do it. You should better contact support (even though I fear they can only repeat what HIG says).
thank you :) yes I had already talked to them, but they referred me to this forum.
