Permissions panel checkboxes: better but still doesn't communicate "unchecked"

Permissions panel checkboxes: better but still doesn't communicate "unchecked"

Hi,

Following up on my previous post: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/permissions-panel-gratuitously-confusing-and-too-easily-destructive ...

For the panel in "editable" state, I see that the "unchecked" state is now represented by a grey check mark, which is better than the previous colored check box.



However, the grey checkboxes communicate that the state is "checked,  user change prohibited". It does not communicate "unchecked, and can be changed".

I note that the checkboxes are implemented in wikisettings.css as:

.check1:before{display: inline-block;
  font: normal normal normal 14px/1 FontAwesome !important;
  ...
  transform: translate(0, 0);content: "\f046";color: #32B6A2;}
.check2:before{display: inline-block;
  font: normal normal normal 14px/1 FontAwesome !important;
  ...
  transform: translate(0, 0);content: "\f046";color: #A9A9A5;}


... in which only the color gets changed. How about instead change the character for unchecked (".check2") to Font Awesome's unchecked character, f096, and do not change the color to grey.:

.check1:before{display: inline-block;
  font: normal normal normal 14px/1 FontAwesome !important;
  ...
  transform: translate(0, 0);content: "\f046";color: #32B6A2;}
.check2:before{display: inline-block;
  font: normal normal normal 14px/1 FontAwesome !important;
  ...
  transform: translate(0, 0);content: "\f096";color: #
32B6A2;}




That would reduce the checked/unchecked confusion on this panel to zero :-).

Further, in the case where the panel is uneditable ("Wiki Permissions Applied"), it currently uses generic "tick" and "close" icons, in color. This falsely suggests that it's editable, and misses the chance to convey that these settings are inherited from the wiki.



Instead this panel could be more helpful if it used grey versions of the icons, and might as well use the same Font Awesome icons as in the editable panel (but of course grey).
